Wegovy 7.2mg: The Surprising Outcomes of the STEP UP Trial

Should we be stepping up to high-dose Wegovy? The STEP UP trial tested Wegovy at 7.2 milligrams once a week—triple the standard dose—to see if it could rival Zepbound. The results showed more weight loss, but still not enough to dethrone tirzepatide.

I explain how Wegovy works at the approved 2.4 milligram dose, what happened when the dose went higher, and the trade-offs that came with it. Side effects like nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and even a new one called dysaesthesia became more common at the higher level.

What does this mean for patients? Higher doses can push results further, but cost, side effects, and quality of life matter just as much as numbers on a scale.

Thanks for watching and always remember: small tweaks lead to massive peaks!
