How do I switch from Saxenda to Wegovy?

If you are currently using Saxenda or have used it previously, the following guidance applies:

• If you are taking Saxenda 3.0mg once daily:
  You may switch to Wegovy 0.5mg once weekly. Although both medicines belong to the GLP-1 class, they contain different active ingredients. Starting at 0.5mg helps reduce the risk of side effects. After four weeks, the dose may be increased gradually in line with prescribing guidance.
• If you are taking a lower dose than 3.0mg of Saxenda:
  You should start Wegovy at 0.25mg.
• If you previously used Saxenda but had a long break in treatment:
  Restarting at 0.25mg Wegovy is advised to improve tolerability.
