Your first dose date We'll date every step from here. Defaults to today. Phase | Dose | Starts Week 1–4 | **0.25 mg** weekly | — Week 5–8 | **0.5 mg** weekly | — Week 9–12 | **1 mg** weekly | — Week 13+ | **2 mg** weekly (maintenance) | — Typical FDA-labeled schedule: 0.25 mg weekly for 4 weeks (starter, not effective for glycemic control), then 0.5 mg. If needed, increase after at least 4 weeks per step to 1 mg, then 2 mg max. ## How GLP-1 titration works Every GLP-1 starts low and steps up on a schedule — usually every 4 weeks. The starting dose isn't meant to do much; it lets your gut adapt so that later, effective doses are tolerable. Rushing this is the single most common cause of a miserable first month. ### The standard ladders These are the FDA-labeled escalation schedules the planner uses. Your prescriber may hold a step longer, or individualize the plan — especially for compounded or oral GLP-1. - **Wegovy (semaglutide):** 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 1.7 → 2.4 mg, stepping every 4 weeks. - **Ozempic (semaglutide):** 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 2 mg, at least 4 weeks per step. - **Mounjaro / Zepbound (tirzepatide):** 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg, 4 weeks per step. - **Rybelsus (oral semaglutide):** 3 mg daily for 30 days → 7 mg → 14 mg. ### Why not just start high? Side effects track how fast your level rises, not the absolute dose. Titration keeps that rise gentle. It's also why your [medication level](/tools/half-life-calculator) resets and rebuilds after each step — something GLPMate's free [level plotter](/tools/glp-1-plotter) shows on your real schedule.

Titration is the gradual, stepwise increase of your dose over weeks — starting low and going up on a set schedule. It gives your body time to adjust, which greatly reduces nausea and other side effects. Every GLP-1 has its own labeled titration ladder. ### How long does it take to reach the full dose? Most schedules step up every 4 weeks. Wegovy reaches its 2.4 mg maintenance dose at about week 17; Mounjaro and Zepbound reach 15 mg over several months if needed. Your prescriber may hold you at a step longer if side effects need time to settle — that's normal. ### Can I move up faster to lose weight quicker? No — faster escalation mainly means worse side effects, not faster results, and prescribers won't do it. The dose that works is the lowest one that controls your appetite; many people do well below the maximum. Follow your titration schedule. ### What does the calendar download include? The.ics file adds an all-day reminder on each dose-change date — the days you step up to a new dose. Import it into Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. For weekly shot-day reminders, GLPMate handles those in-app on your real schedule. ### My prescriber gave me a different schedule — which is right? Always follow your prescriber. This planner shows the standard FDA-labeled ladder, but compounded and individualized plans vary (slower steps, micro-dosing, holds). Use it to understand the shape, not to override your clinician. ## Never miss a step-up. Free reminders in the app. iOS & Android.
