Why results may differ after restarting Wegovy
After restarting Wegovy (semaglutide) following a break, you may not see the same results immediately because the medication needs time to build back up to effective levels in your body. Appetite suppression and feelings of fullness can be weaker at first, particularly if Wegovy is restarted at a lower dose in line with UK prescribing guidance. Your body’s response may also change after a treatment gap, and side effects such as nausea can temporarily limit dose increases. Weight changes during the break, diet, activity levels, and tolerance over time can all influence how well Wegovy works after restarting. A clinical review is recommended to reset expectations and ensure safe dose titration.
- Appetite control may be weaker at first while drug levels rebuild
- Weight loss may be slower initially after restarting treatment
- Lower restart doses can affect early results, even if you were on a higher dose before
- Side effects may influence dose increases during re-titration
- Medical review is advised to assess dose, response, and expectations
