Semaglutide Titration Planner

Plan a semaglutide titration that balances efficacy with tolerability. Enter your starting weight, target percentage loss, escalation interval, and any planned hold weeks to see how long the ramp lasts, the dose ladder, and when you can expect to reach your goal weight.

Enter body weight in pounds at the start of therapy.
Most Wegovy protocols aim for 5%–15% loss.
Standard escalation advances every 4 weeks unless side effects require holds.
Leave blank if beginning at the usual 0.25 mg.
Add the cumulative weeks you expect to repeat a prior dose.

Not medical advice. Confirm your titration schedule with a licensed healthcare professional.

Examples

  • 210 lb patient, 12% goal, 4-week interval ⇒ 16-week ramp to 2.4 mg and ~28 weeks total to hit 184.8 lb
  • 185 lb patient, 8% goal, 3-week interval with 3 hold weeks ⇒ 15-week ramp to 1.7 mg and ~23 weeks total

FAQ

Can I stop escalating once I hit my goal?

Yes. Many patients stay on the lowest effective maintenance dose once they reach their weight or glycemic targets—discuss dose changes with your prescriber.

What if I experience severe nausea?

Severe side effects warrant contacting your clinician. They may extend the hold period, prescribe antiemetics, or reduce the dose before attempting another increase.

Does diabetes dosing differ from weight-loss protocols?

Type 2 diabetes regimens often top out at 1.0 mg Ozempic, while obesity protocols target 2.4 mg Wegovy. Enter the dose ladder that matches your indication.

How do lifestyle changes affect the timeline?

Improved diet quality, strength training, and sleep hygiene can accelerate fat loss and support maintenance even if dose escalations are slowed.

Additional Information

  • Semaglutide GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic®, Wegovy®, compounded) typically escalate every 4 weeks from 0.25 mg toward 1.7–2.4 mg.
  • Clinicians may pause or repeat a dose when gastrointestinal side effects appear; add hold weeks to reflect your care plan.
  • Pair pharmacotherapy with nutrition, hydration, sleep, and resistance training to preserve lean mass during weight loss.
  • Longer hold periods slow the ramp but often improve adherence—track symptoms to share with your healthcare provider.
