Wegovy reference
Wegovy Dose Tracker
A practical reference for organizing weekly dose timing, dose changes, missed doses, injection sites, storage dates, and the history you may want to review later.
Dose progression
Wegovy dose progression and titration
The official label describes a once-weekly escalation schedule. Your prescription may not follow every step below, but dose-change dates are useful to keep in your history.
Start: 0.25 mg once weekly
The label describes 0.25 mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks.
Then: 0.5 mg once weekly
After 4 weeks on 0.25 mg, the labeled schedule increases to 0.5 mg once weekly.
Then: 1 mg once weekly
After 4 weeks on 0.5 mg, the labeled schedule increases to 1 mg once weekly.
Then: 1.7 mg once weekly
After 4 weeks on 1 mg, the labeled schedule increases to 1.7 mg once weekly.
Usual maintenance: 2.4 mg once weekly
The labeled maintenance dose is 2.4 mg once weekly; some plans may use 1.7 mg as maintenance.
What to write down
A tiny checklist is enough
Keep only the details that make your Wegovy history easier to read later. Everything else belongs on your prescription label, Medication Guide, or with your clinician.
Date/time
When you actually took the dose.
Dose
The amount you were prescribed to use.
Site
Abdomen, thigh, or upper arm if site history matters.
Missed/late note
What happened when the weekly schedule was not clean.
Opened/expiration dates
Opened date, expiration date, and any storage concern to ask a pharmacist about.
Common questions
Wegovy questions worth answering clearly
Short answers for common tracking questions. For medical decisions, use your prescription label, Medication Guide, pharmacist, or clinician.
The label describes 0.25 mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks, followed by stepwise increases about every 4 weeks until maintenance dosing.
The label describes once-weekly dosing. If your schedule changes, write down the new weekly day and keep injections separated according to your prescription instructions.
For a single missed injection, the label uses a 5-day window and the timing of the next scheduled dose. If two or more consecutive doses are missed, ask your clinician how to restart.
Labeled injection sites include abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with site rotation when injecting in the same body region.
Track the selected dose strength and when it changed, especially during escalation from 0.25 mg through maintenance dosing.
Follow the storage instructions that came with your prescription and ask your pharmacist if anything is uncertain. Track expiration dates and supply details for review.
A clean history is usually more useful than scattered notes: dose changes, missed or late doses, injection sites, supply changes, weight trend, and any notes you want to discuss.
