Wegovy 0.25mg

Wegovy 0.25mg is the first step in a structured 16-week titration schedule designed specifically for weight management. This dose allows your body to gradually acclimate to semaglutide while minimizing gastrointestinal side effects. The Wegovy titration is more gradual than Ozempic, reflecting its higher target maintenance dose.
