Most Semaglutide formulations, such as Ozempic and Wegovy, are given once weekly, on the same day each week, with or without meals
In the STEP 3 trial of semaglutide combined with intensive lifestyle intervention (30 counseling visits across 68 weeks, including nutrition, physical activity, and other behavioral strategies, plus 8 initial weeks of meal replacements with liquid shakes, meal bars, or portion-controlled meals), individuals experienced a 16 % reduction from baseline in body weight (versus 5.7 % with intensive lifestyle intervention alone) [169]

This doubles the weight loss effects seen in the initial liraglutide trials (2014) , suggesting that dosing regimens may be key to effective treatment (and differ from those used in T2D)
