Frequently asked

How long does Semaglutide stay in your system?

With a half-life of ≈ 7 days, roughly 97% of a single Semaglutide dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 35 days. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.

What does a ≈ 7 days half-life mean in practice?

Every 7 days, the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.

Where does this Semaglutide half-life number come from?

PubMed 29915923 (semaglutide clinical pharmacokinetics). We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
