Most semaglutide injections are taken once per week.
That includes the common injectable brands:
| Brand | Main use | Typical injection schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Ozempic | Type 2 diabetes | Once weekly |
| Wegovy | Chronic weight management | Once weekly |
You inject it on the same day each week, with or without food, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. The dose is typically started low and increased gradually to reduce nausea and other stomach side effects. There is also oral semaglutide called Rybelsus, which is a tablet taken daily, not injected.
