Semaglutide Dose Converter
Wegovy®, Ozempic® and post-patent generics: equivalence between desired dose (mg), injected volume (mL) and clicks on the pen.

Move either slider — both stay in sync in real time.
The two sliders are synced. You can also type the exact number of clicks below.
How the calculation works
clicks ≈ ( dose mg ÷ concentration mg/mL ) × 30Approximation reported in the label. Each pen delivers approximately 30 clicks per injected mL.
Approximate equivalence · Ozempic 1 mg → Wegovy
When a patient already in follow-up switches between pen strengths, the number of clicks changes — because the concentration changes. Approximate equivalences, based on the 30 clicks/mL rule.
| Ozempic 1 mg (clicks) | Wegovy 1.7 mg (clicks) | Wegovy 2.4 mg (clicks) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 6 | 4 |
| 20 | 11 | 8 |
| 30 | 18 | 13 |
| 40 | 24 | 17 |
| 50 | 30 | 21 |
| 60 | 36 | 25 |

Commercial names recognized internationally
Semaglutide is the active ingredient (INN). It is marketed worldwide under different brand names:
approved for chronic weight management
approved for type 2 diabetes
not injectable; the only oral form of semaglutide.
After the expiration of the semaglutide patent in Brazil (March 2026), the national regulator (ANVISA) approved generic registrations of the molecule. Below are the first two — they illustrate a global trend: as exclusivity ends in each jurisdiction, regional generics tend to emerge under local trade names.
Semaglutide patent expiration timelines vary by jurisdiction. As exclusivity ends, generic versions tend to expand access and substantially lower the cost of the molecule, with a direct impact on long-term adherence.
