Do I Have to Start at the Lowest Dose When Switching Between Wegovy and Mounjaro?
If you're switching from Wegovy (semaglutide) to Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or vice versa, you must start at the lowest dose of the new medication.
Why Do You Need to Start at the Lowest Dose?
✔ Different Medications, Different Strengths – Mounjaro and Wegovy affect the body in different ways. Starting low helps your body adjust safely.
✔ Reducing Side Effects – Both medications can cause nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort. A lower starting dose helps prevent these effects.
✔ Avoiding Overdosing – The dosages of Wegovy and Mounjaro are not equivalent, so taking the same strength in a new medication could be too much for your body.
What Dose Will You Start With?
✔ Speak to our Prescriber – They will confirm the safest way to switch based on your medical history.
✔ Follow the Dosing Plan – Even if you were on a high dose of your previous medication, we are required to review your dose.
✔ Monitor for Side Effects – If you feel unwell, reach out to us.
Final Thoughts
Switching between Wegovy and Mounjaro means you will need to have a 7 day break between treatments.
