Is Wegovy stronger than Ozempic?

By labelled dose amount, Wegovy goes higher: its label gives 2.4 mg once weekly as the usual maintenance dose, a labelled amount and not a measure of effect.

GLP-1 agonistUpdated

Short answer

By labelled dose amount, Wegovy goes higher: its label gives 2.4 mg once weekly as the usual maintenance dose, a labelled amount and not a measure of effect.[1]

Ozempic's label caps its dose at 2 mg once weekly.[2]

The highest labelled Wegovy dose

Wegovy's label allows a still higher maximum of 7.2 mg once weekly in certain adults, after at least 4 weeks on the 2.4 mg dosage.[1]

The two products are labelled for different conditions, so their doses are not interchangeable steps on one ladder.[2]
