Semaglutide dosing chart

All values in syringe units (U-100). A dash means the dose exceeds syringe capacity at that concentration.
Standard titration schedule
Semaglutide requires gradual dose escalation to minimize GI side effects. This is the schedule used in Klarovel protocols, matching the FDA-approved Wegovy titration:
Starting dose. Mild appetite changes, possible light nausea.
First real appetite suppression. Early weight loss begins.
Significant reduction in food cravings.
Approaching full therapeutic effect.
Maintenance. Continue at this level unless side effects require adjustment.
Each phase can be extended. If nausea or GI symptoms persist beyond 2 weeks at any dose, stay at that level for an additional 2-4 weeks before increasing. Going slower is standard practice, not a failure.
Reconstituting semaglutide
Compounded semaglutide arrives as lyophilized powder. Add bacteriostatic water to create an injectable solution. The process is identical to any peptide reconstitution.
Preparation
- Clean workspace, sterile gloves
- Warm vials to room temperature
- Swab both vial tops with alcohol
Mixing
- Inject water against the glass wall at 45 degrees
- Gently swirl until completely clear
- Label with date, concentration, and discard date
Storage: Refrigerate at 2-8 degrees C. Stable for approximately 28 days with BAC water. Keep upright, protected from light. Do not freeze.
Compounded vs. brand-name
The semaglutide molecule is identical in both compounded preparations and FDA-approved products (Wegovy, Ozempic). The titration schedule, dose amounts, and timing are the same.
The difference is delivery: brand-name products come in pre-filled pens with fixed concentrations. Compounded semaglutide comes as lyophilized powder that you reconstitute yourself, giving you control over the concentration and draw volume.
This calculator is designed for compounded (vial-based) semaglutide. If you are using a pre-filled pen, follow the markings on the pen device.

The arithmetic is ours. The constants and dose schedules it relies on are not ours to assert, so these are the primary documents behind them, retrieved 2026-09-25.
- Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP (Hospira), prescribing label. DailyMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Bacteriostatic water is sterile water with 0.9% benzyl alcohol, supplied in a multiple-dose container for repeated withdrawals to dissolve drugs for injection.
- Humulin R U-100, prescribing information. DailyMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine.
U-100 means 100 units per ml, and a U-100 dose must be measured with a syringe marked for U-100. This is the conversion behind step 3 of the formula.
- BD Insulin Syringe, 510(k) K190054 summary. U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The syringes are intended for U-100 insulin and come in 1 ml, 0.5 ml and 0.3 ml capacities, the three barrel sizes the unit counts on this page apply to.
- Wegovy (semaglutide) injection, prescribing information. DailyMed, U.S. National Library of Medicine.
The titration on this page: 0.25 mg weekly for 4 weeks, then 0.5, 1 and 1.7 mg at 4-week steps, with 2.4 mg the usual recommended maintenance dose.
