Semaglutide comes as a single dose pen for subcutaneous (under the skin) injection or as an oral tablet. You can learn to give the injections at home after training and review by your healthcare provider.

The usual adult dose of semaglutide for weight loss (Wegovy) is either 1.7 mg or 2.4 mg (recommended) given once weekly. Doses are slowly increased over a 3 to 4 month period to help you to more easily tolerate the stomach side effects. It is also approved for use in adolescents 12 years and older with obesity.

Semaglutide is also approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes under the brand names Ozempic (a weekly subcutaneous injection) or Rybelsus (an oral tablet taken by mouth once daily).

Ozempic and Rybelsus can also help with weight loss, and in some cases, your healthcare provider may prescribe one of the products “off-label” for weight loss instead of Wegovy. “Off-label” use of a drug is when it is prescribed for a different condition than those approved by the FDA. Be aware that your insurance may not pay for "off-label" use of medications.

All brands of semaglutide are also approved to help protect the heart and prevent events like a heart attack, stroke or heart-related death in adults with established heart disease and either obesity or overweight. Semaglutide is used in addition to diet and increased physical activity for both weight loss and treatment of type 2 diabetes.
