Semaglutide has a reported half-life of about 7 days. Under a weekly dosing schedule, steady state is reached at roughly 4.3 half-lives — about 30 days — and subsequent doses accumulate by a factor of about 2.0 over a single dose.
The blue line plots concentration as a percentage of the first-dose peak. The dashed reference line marks the steady-state peak. After the last dose, concentration drops below 1 % of the peak after about 49 days — seven half-lives.
Semaglutide is a GLP-1 mono-agonist studied at weekly doses of 0.25 to 2.4 mg for metabolic and weight-management indications. The 7-day half-life aligns precisely with a weekly dosing interval, producing the highest accumulation factor among the weekly GLP-1 class peptides modelled here.
