Semaglutide Dosage Chart: Ozempic, Wegovy, Rybelsus, and Compounded Semaglutide

Semaglutide dosing is not one universal schedule. The correct dose depends on the specific product, route, indication, and formulation. Ozempic is a once-weekly injection used for type 2 diabetes and certain cardiovascular and kidney-risk indications. Wegovy is available as both an injection and an oral tablet for approved weight-reduction and cardiovascular-risk indications. Rybelsus is an oral semaglutide product for adults with type 2 diabetes and now has two tablet formulations that are not interchangeable milligram-for-milligram.

Trulicity helps improve blood sugar control and is also approved to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events in certain adults with type 2 diabetes. Some people may lose weight while taking dulaglutide, but Trulicity is not FDA-approved specifically for weight loss. Getting the right dose depends mainly on glycemic response, tolerability, and the prescribing clinician’s treatment plan.
