Understanding Semaglutide Dosage
Semaglutide is typically started at a low dose and gradually increased over time to improve tolerability and reduce side effects such as nausea or digestive discomfort.
The dosing schedule is designed to allow the body to adapt to GLP-1 receptor activation while gradually increasing appetite control and metabolic effects.
Typical approach:
- Start with a low introductory dose
- Increase gradually every few weeks
- Reach maintenance dose over time
- Adjust based on tolerance and response
