.5mg to 2mg
Hello,
I started taking Ozempic for weight lost (and entry level diabetic numbers), I have been on this Medication since June 2024 and have so far lost approximately 35lbs (280 to 245 lbs). I started with the .25mg for 4 week and then ramped up to .50mg for the remaining time. Recently my doctor has prescribed me with 2x 1mg pens each refill and the directions state 1mg twice/week (I assume 2mg pen isn't available in Canada?). In any case this seems like a big jump from .50mg to 2mg - would you agree? I have been on the highest dosage of Saxenda in the past but I worked my way up. Just trying to get some insight while waiting for my doctor to call me back.
TDLR: Is going from .50mg to 2mg an extreme jump?
