You must begin with the lowest dose if you haven’t been on the medication within the last 60 days or your current prescription is dated longer than 60 days ago.
If you are changing suppliers and had your last dose within 60 days, you would need to upload a proof of dose in the form of a prescription, invoice or an order summary of your last dose. Proof of dose must include your full name, name of the medication and the dose, dated within the last 60 days. This means if you wish to, you can continue with CheqUp on a higher dose than the starting dose. Proof of dose for Wegovy 7.2mg must be within 30 days and needs three months of 2.4mg with CheqUp under clinical guidance.
Anyone new to the medication is required to start at the lowest dose, as it helps your body adapt to the medication and reduces the risk of side effects. The medication is designed to increase gradually every month, allowing you to monitor your progress, make sure it is effective and you are tolerating it well.
