How Often Do You Take Ozempic

Faith Coleman

Medically reviewed by Faith Coleman, University of New Mexico School of Medicine on August 26th, 2026.

Ozempic is typically taken once weekly via subcutaneous injection. Most patients inject Ozempic on the same day each week, usually starting with 0.25 mg for the first four weeks before increasing to 0.5 mg. The medication maintains therapeutic levels in your system for seven days due to its extended-release formulation. Clinical trials show that 68% of patients achieve significant weight loss when taking Ozempic consistently at the recommended weekly schedule. Your healthcare provider may adjust the timing based on your response and tolerance to the medication.
