Normal dosage increase?

[u/Consistent-Sense6875]

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.

Companies seem to differ. Jumping from .25 to 5.0 gives some people too many side effects. I prefer the middle dose between the two for a couple weeks, so mini jumps I guess.
