Semaglutide Dosing Guide: Ozempic & Wegovy Protocols
Understand semaglutide dosing schedules, titration protocols, and reconstitution for compounded semaglutide. Covers Ozempic, Wegovy, and research-grade semaglutide.
Context
Semaglutide plans often involve stepwise titration. When compounded workflows are used, calculation errors usually happen during concentration conversion.
Practical Titration Planning
- Define weekly target amount by phase.
- Lock reconstitution concentration for each vial.
- Convert every phase target into unit/mL draw values.
- Pre-calculate upcoming phase values before transition weeks.
Example Conversion Matrix
| Concentration | 0.25 mg | 0.5 mg | 1.0 mg |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mg/mL | 0.25 mL | 0.50 mL | 1.00 mL |
| 2 mg/mL | 0.125 mL | 0.25 mL | 0.50 mL |
| 5 mg/mL | 0.05 mL | 0.10 mL | 0.20 mL |
Common Pitfalls
- Switching concentration without updating draw amounts
- Mixing pen-label assumptions with compounded vial math
- Failing to validate weekly phase changes ahead of time
Reliable Process
- Save each phase as a named preset.
- Include concentration in the preset title.
- Verify unit conversions before every dose date.
- Review with a qualified clinician when protocol changes.
Education and calculator checks reduce avoidable math mistakes.
