Question

How long does it take for Wegovy or Zepbound to work?

✓Last reviewed · Written by Dr. George Grunberger · Medical review: pending — clinician review in progress · How we review

Short answer

Appetite often changes within the first weeks, but the starting doses are for tolerance, not full effect. Most weight loss happens over months as the dose rises; trials measured results at about 68–72 weeks.
