Semaglutide dosage chart
Same structure as the tirzepatide chart, smaller numbers, and one extra way
to get it wrong: semaglutide doses are small enough that a bad concentration puts your dose
down at the fiddly end of the barrel.
The schedule
The same schedule, in units
2.5 mg/mL is the column with no red in it. At 1 mg/mL the top two doses overflow the
syringe. At 10 mg/mL your first month is a 2.5-unit draw, which is a sliver of liquid barely
off the hub. At 2.5 mg/mL every dose in the whole schedule lands somewhere you can actually
see and hit. If your pharmacy lets you choose, that's the one to choose.
One dose at a time
Each dose on its own page, at every strength, with the syringe drawn:
0.25 mg · 0.5 mg · 1 mg · 1.7 mg · 2.4 mg.
One vial at a time
Your vial's whole ladder, each step drawn on the barrel:
1 mg/mL · 2.5 mg/mL · 5 mg/mL · 10 mg/mL.
Going the other way — units you drew, milligrams you want —
units to mg.
Your vial
Common setups:
Semaglutide is not tirzepatide
They get talked about interchangeably and they are not interchangeable. Different
molecules, different ladders, doses an order of magnitude apart. 2.4 mg is a full
semaglutide dose and a rounding error of a tirzepatide one.
Which matters if you switch. People move between them fairly often — tolerance, supply,
price — and the instinct to keep drawing the same number of units is exactly the wrong one.
New drug, new vial, new concentration, new arithmetic. Do the whole thing again from the
label.
