If you have been using Wegovy® as part of your weight-loss journey, you may have heard some exciting news: a new 7.2mg dose is now available in the UK.

At HeMed, we know that many of our patients make incredible progress but eventually hit a "plateau"  - that frustrating point where weight loss slows down or stops. In the past, some patients felt they had to switch to other medications like Mounjaro® to keep seeing results.

That has now changed. With the arrival of the 7.2mg dose, you can achieve powerful weight loss results while staying on the Wegovy medication you already know and trust.

What is the 7.2mg dose?

In the past, the highest dose of Wegovy® was 2.4mg per week. For many people, this works perfectly. However, new research shows that some people benefit from a higher dose to help them feel full for longer and improve their metabolism.

The 7.2mg dose is a "step up" for patients who are already doing well on the 2.4mg dose but need a little extra help to see further results.

Why this is a "Game Changer" for Weight Loss

• No Need to Switch: You no longer have to worry about the hassle of switching brands or starting over with a different medication to get a stronger effect.
• Match the Competition: This higher dose allows Wegovy to offer the same high-level weight loss power that was previously only seen with other leading treatments.
• Beat the Plateau: If your weight loss has stalled at the 2.4mg dose, this "step up" helps restart your progress and keeps you moving toward your goal.

Important Safety Information

It is important to remember that 7.2mg is not for beginners. * Follow the Steps: Everyone must still start at the lowest dose (0.25mg) and slowly work their way up.

• Build Tolerance: You can only move to 7.2mg if you have been on the 2.4mg dose for a while and your body is handling it well.
• Side Effects: Just like with your current dose, moving up can sometimes cause a bit of nausea or an upset stomach. Our team at SheMed will be here to support you and give you tips on how to manage this.

How much does Wegovy 7.2mg cost?

Because the 7.2mg dose contains more of the active ingredient (semaglutide) to provide that extra strength, the price is higher than the lower doses.

More Than Just a Weekly Jab

At HeMed, we believe that Wegovy® is a powerful tool, but it works best when combined with healthy habits. The 7.2mg dose is here to support the hard work you are already doing with your food choices and daily activity.

Our goal is to help you achieve lasting change, not just a quick fix.

Is the 7.2mg dose right for you?

Because this is a much stronger dose, it is handled carefully by our clinical team:

1. For Existing Users: You must have already reached the 2.4mg dose and be tolerating it well before moving up.
2. Medical Supervision: As always, our HeMed clinical team will oversee your transition to ensure you stay hydrated and manage any temporary side effects like nausea.
3. Maximum Support: This dose is designed for those who need that extra "metabolic push" to reach their final target weight.
