Wegovy 1mg Dose (Top voted first)

Has anyone been prescribed 1mg dose to begin Wegovy? My husband was and I cannot find any info on this dosage.

REPORT

My wife’s university professor endocrinologist tried to start her at 0.5 but the pharmacist refused. I think it was the pharmacist using clinical judgment, but maybe we missed that it was insurance-related.

I presume/hope the doc had a good reason to start your husband higher than normal.
