Wegovy 1.7 mg — pre-maximum dose at our pharmacy in Urmston
£100 per month, supplied at our pharmacy in Urmston counter
Role of the 1.7 mg dose
Penultimate step. 1.7 mg sits between 1 mg and the full 2.4 mg maintenance dose. Some patients hold here long term when the response is strong and side effects are manageable.
How long you stay on 1.7 mg
Four weeks minimum before stepping to 2.4 mg.
What to expect
- Mild return of nausea or fullness for a few days after the step
- Sustained or renewed weekly loss if 1 mg had plateaued
- Smaller portion sizes feel normal — restaurant meals often become leftovers
- Most earlier side effects largely settled
Injection technique
Same once-weekly schedule. Bring used pens to the pharmacy for safe sharps disposal — we will sort it out for you.
Pharmacist review
Four-week pharmacist review. We discuss whether to climb to 2.4 mg or stay on 1.7 mg.
When to seek urgent advice
Sustained loss of more than two pounds a week for several weeks in a row may prompt the pharmacist to recommend holding the dose rather than stepping up.
