Questions

How long does it take to reach a maintenance dose?

On the standard labeled schedules, Wegovy reaches 2.4 mg at week 17 and Zepbound can reach 15 mg by week 21 if each step is tolerated. Prescribers often hold a dose longer, which is normal.

Can I move up faster?

Follow your prescriber. The labeled schedules use at least four weeks per step to help with side effects such as nausea.

What if my doctor gave me a different schedule?

Use theirs. This tool shows the standard labeled steps so you can see dates on a calendar; your prescriber's plan always comes first.
