Semaglutide filled Pen, 5mg, with needles, 2 months course

Semaglutide is an injectable medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes. It helps the body to reduce high blood sugar levels. By controlling blood sugar levels it reduces the risk of diabetic complications like heart disease and heart attacks.

The active ingredient, semaglutide, is very similar to a natural hormone in the body called GLP-1. This hormone plays an important role in appetite control and regulation. By mimicking this hormone, semaglutide helps to regulate your appetite and make you feel fuller and less hungry. This can lead to people eating less and losing weight.

Q: How to use VLS Semaglutide?

The Semaglutide dosage for weight loss is typically titrated up to a maximum dose of 2mg weekly, as tolerated by each individual patient. A month should be taken at each strength, to make sure your body adjusts well to the medication.

You will start Semaglutide at 0.25mg. Each week, you will use one of the four doses in the pen, until it runs out. Once the pen is done, you will move up to the next pen, until you hit the maximum 2mg dose. While the above graphic is designed for using Semaglutide for diabetes, the same principle is followed when using this treatment for weight loss. If you wish to move down to a lower dose of Semaglutide, or stay at a certain dose for longer, speak to your doctor before changing this dosage schedule.

The maximum dose for Semaglutide is 2mg. This is referred to as the “maintenance dose”, as it is the dose you work up to over the course of weeks to reach and is maintained going forward.

Weeks 1 through 4: 0.25 mg subcutaneously once a week

Weeks 5 through 8: 0.5 mg subcutaneously once a week

Weeks 9 through 12: 1 mg subcutaneously once a week

Weeks 13 through 16: 1.5 mg subcutaneously once a week

Maintenance Dose

Week 17 and onward: 2.5 mg subcutaneously once a week

Dosing Considerations

If dose escalation is not tolerated, consider delaying dose escalation for 4 weeks
