Semaglutide at 5 mg/mL: the schedule in units

If the label says 5 mg / 1 mL, 10 mg / 2 mL — it's 5 mg/mL. Read down. Every step of the standard semaglutide ladder, as units on a U-100 insulin syringe.

Semaglutide (Wegovy, Ozempic) titration at 5 mg/mL. Each step is held four weeks before the next.
When	Dose	mL	Units	Syringe
Weeks 1–4	0.25 mg	0.05	5	30-unit
Weeks 5–8	0.5 mg	0.1	10	30-unit
Weeks 9–12	1 mg	0.2	20	30-unit
Weeks 13–16	1.7 mg	0.34	34	50-unit
Week 17+	2.4 mg	0.48	48	50-unit

Typically 5 mg / 1 mL or 10 mg / 2 mL. Comfortable from 0.5 mg upward. The starting dose is 5 units — measurable on a 30-unit syringe, but tight.

Each step on the barrel

0.25 mg → 5 units on a 30-unit syringe

0.5 mg → 10 units on a 30-unit syringe

1 mg → 20 units on a 30-unit syringe

1.7 mg → 34 units on a 50-unit syringe

2.4 mg → 48 units on a 50-unit syringe

In-between doses at 5 mg/mL

Not on any label. They exist because vials make them possible, and they only make sense if a prescriber put you there deliberately — usually because a full step up was too much at once.

Dose	mL	Units at 5 mg/mL
0.75 mg	0.15	15
1.25 mg	0.25	25
