I have previously been taking Ozempic for weight loss. How do I switch to Wegovy?

If you are switching from Ozempic used for weight loss, the same guidance applies:

• If you are currently on Ozempic:
  You may switch to the same or next higher dose of Wegovy.
• If you had a short break in treatment:
  You may continue from your previous dose level.
• If you had a longer treatment gap:
  Restarting at 0.5mg Wegovy is safer and helps reduce side effects.

If Ozempic is being used for type 2 diabetes, you should not switch to Wegovy.

Switching from Saxenda to Wegovy (summary guidance)

• Saxenda 3.0mg daily → Wegovy 0.5mg weekly
• Lower Saxenda dose → Wegovy 0.25mg
• Long gap after Saxenda → Wegovy 0.25mg

Dose increases should follow manufacturer guidance and clinical advice.
