How long does Wegovy stay in your system?

To determine how long Wegovy stays in your system, we need to know the half-life of Wegovy.  The half-life is the time it takes for 50% of the drug to be removed. The half-life of Wegovy® is 7 days which means that if you take the maximum dose (2.4 mg) after 7 days there will be 50% (1.2 mg) remaining in your body. Therefore, Wegovy stays in your system for about 7 weeks before it is completely removed from your body. Wegovy is considered a long-acting medication and only requires weekly dosing to ensure adequate drug levels are maintained.
