Dose calculator
Example values — replace them with your semaglutide label. For total mg + mL, enter all medication and actual liquid in the vial, not the container’s capacity. If your label lists mg/mL, choose concentration.
Your conversion
5 mg ÷ 2 mL = 2.5 mg/mL. 7.2 mg ÷ 2.5 mg/mL × 100 = 288 units

7.2 mg in units, by vial strength
| Vial concentration | Units (U-100) | Volume |

Where 7.2 mg fits in the schedule
The Wegovy HD dose approved in March 2026. Per the label it is only for adults who have tolerated 2.4 mg for at least 4 weeks — it is never a starting dose. Your prescriber sets your actual schedule — follow their instructions.
The formula
units = (dose mg ÷ concentration mg/mL) × 100
Example at 2.5 mg/mL: 7.2 ÷ 2.5 × 100 = 288 units.
Check the label before converting
These calculations use example concentrations, not a universal semaglutide strength. If a label gives total medication and liquid volume, divide mg by mL first. For example, 5 mg in 2 mL gives 2.5 mg/mL. Use the semaglutide calculator for the numbers on your own label.
Compounded medications are not FDA-approved. The FDA’s semaglutide dosing-error alert explains how differing concentrations and confusion between units, mL, and mg can cause errors.
