THE SHORT VERSION
- Wegovy’s familiar maintenance dose is 2.4mg weekly, but the MHRA has approved use up to a maximum of 7.2mg weekly for adult patients with obesity where clinically appropriate and prescribed. The 7.2mg dose should only be used exactly as directed by a prescriber.
This page explains UK regulatory updates and evidence context. It does not tell you whether a higher dose is right for you — only your prescriber can decide after reviewing your history, response and monitoring plan.
MHRA approvals
In January 2026 the MHRA announced approval of Wegovy up to 7.2mg weekly for adult patients with obesity. See MHRA approval of Wegovy up to 7.2mg.
In April 2026 the MHRA announced approval of a single-dose 7.2mg Wegovy pen for adult patients with obesity. See MHRA approval of the single-dose 7.2mg Wegovy pen.
STEP UP trial (careful framing)
Trial averages are not guarantees for any individual. Outcomes depend on adherence, lifestyle support, starting weight, dose reached and medical history.
7.2mg is not for everyone
- Do not imply all Wegovy patients should move to 7.2mg.
- Do not use GLP-1 medicines for cosmetic weight loss.
- Do not self-escalate dose or combine injections unless your prescriber has instructed you.
- Follow your prescriber, pharmacist or nurse for titration, monitoring and product information.
