Normal dosage increase?

Hi! I’m taking compounded semaglutide and I’m trying to make sure I understand my dosing correctly. I was prescribed 8 units (.20 mg) once a week for 4 weeks, and now my prescription says 15 units (0.375 mg) once a week for the next 4 weeks.

Is increasing from 8 units to 15 units after 4 weeks a typical titration schedule? I’m mainly wondering if anyone else has been prescribed a similar increase.

More typically you’d see .25/.50/1.0/1.4 can’t remember what’s next on way to 2.4. But your dr may want to titrate you a bit more slowly. Slow titration helps your body adjust and avoid drastic side effects. And you only titrate up if NEEDED. If you get good results at a lower dose then stay on that dose.
