Anyone tried Wegovy 7.2mg?

7.2mg dose was approved in January. Has anyone tried it? It says for those with BMI over 30 but I don’t know if that’s current BMI or starting.

Feeling a bit stuck with still around 2stone to lose so tempted to ask for it, but it feels a big jump so just looking for any experience of it here

Following as I’ve been on 2.4mg for a few months and would be interested to know the effects of 7.2mg and whether I should make the jump.

I haven't tried Wegovy, but heard one of pharmacies said Novo found 2.4 mg already produced near maximal clinical effects for Wegovy in trials, so for many people Increasing to 7.2 mg just pushes the effect a little bit further. Something like 17% to 20% loss in trials.

I personally would be a bit apprehensive at the jump if you have any existing or a history of unwanted side effects and if I wanted to try it would take advantage of the 3 x 2.4mg pens to try 4.8mg first (pharmacies might not support this as they have apparently agreed with Novo to monitor patient usage to make sure they don't use the cheaper price for this).

Yes I think if I was going to do it I’d start with 1 or 2 weeks of 4.8mg
