A typical schedule is once weekly stepping from 0.25 mg → 0.5 mg → 1.0 mg → 1.7 mg → 2.4 mg in staged intervals. The step-ups reduce stomach-related side effects and allow your routine to bed in. If symptoms persist, clinicians may extend a step or pause before moving on; some people remain at 1.7 mg if that’s the best balance of benefit and comfort.

Yes. Many people prefer to inject after a cool-down so the site is relaxed and less tender. Avoid injecting into a muscle you’ve just trained hard, and rehydrate before and after your session.

There are no strict activity bans. Most people tolerate light-to-moderate exercise well; if you’re doing very intense sessions, consider injecting afterwards or on a rest day while you’re settling in. Avoid massaging the injection site, and skip heavy core work immediately after if it makes the area sore. Hydrate well — especially during dose increases — because dehydration can worsen nausea or dizziness. Why activity matters with GLP-1 medicines Wegovy (semaglutide) is alway

Always check the pen label to confirm the correct dose before injecting. Rotate injection sites each week to avoid irritation and avoid injecting into scarred, bruised, or inflamed skin. Use a new needle each time and dispose of it safely in a sharps container. NHS staff encourage patients to report any unexpected reactions or concerns so adjustments can be made. Checking the pen and medicine One of the simplest but most important steps is to confirm you have the correct pen
