iPharma – Izempic 5mg – NEW 5MG

What is the dosing strategy for semaglutide?

When trying to lose weight with semaglutide the goal is the least amount of nausea with the most amount of weight loss. I start patients at 0.25mg or 5 units on an insulin syringe. Each week patients increase their dosing by 0.25mg or 5 units until they are losing 2-5# weekly. Once a patient hits a dosing where they are losing 2# weekly, I recommend staying at this dosing until weight has plateaued for two weeks. At this point, moving up by 5 units or 0.25mg would be prudent to continue the weight loss. If nausea occurs for more than 1 day at any dosing, use a slightly lower dose the following week. For example, if week 3 at 0.75mg or 15 units made you nauseous for 2 days, bump down to 13 units or 0.65mg. If nausea does occur, use ginger as much as possible to lower this nausea. NB!!! REMEMBER TO ORDER YOUR PEPTIDE MIXING AND INJECTION KIT!
