Wegovy 2.4mg

Wegovy 2.4mg is the full maintenance dose and the level at which the landmark STEP clinical trials demonstrated an average weight loss of approximately 15% of body weight. This is the dose most patients will remain on long-term for chronic weight management. Reaching 2.4mg means you have completed the full 16-week titration schedule.
