Reaching a healthy weight is a remarkable achievement, and MedExpress is here to help you maintain your success and support your long-term health goals.
Use this guide to understand:
How dosing works as you progress through your treatment.
The policy for continuing Mounjaro or Wegovy once you reach your target weight.
The ongoing support provided during the maintenance phase.
How does continuing treatment work?
Throughout your weight loss journey, your medication dose will typically increase every four weeks until you reach your maintenance dose.
The maintenance dose is the specific strength of Mounjaro or Wegovy that provides the best weight management results with the fewest side effects. While some patients reach the maximum dose, others find that a lower dose is more effective for their individual needs.
What happens when I reach my weight loss goal?
When you reach your weight loss goal, you will not be asked to stop your Mounjaro or Wegovy treatment automatically. Maintaining weight is just as critical as the initial loss.
Progress Reviews: Our prescribers will continue to review your progress and health markers regularly.
BMI Requirements: You can generally continue your medication for maintenance purposes as long as your BMI remains above 21.
What ongoing support will I receive?
If you continue your treatment, MedExpress will check in with you regularly to ensure the medication remains safe and effective. This includes:
Monitoring your progress: Ensuring your weight remains stable and healthy.
Dose adjustments: Assessing whether your maintenance dose of Mounjaro or Wegovy needs to be adjusted based on your side effects or results.
Long-term results: Providing the clinical framework to help you prevent weight regain.
š” Remember
Weight maintenance is a long-term commitment. For many people, continuing a maintenance planāeven at a lower doseāhelps prevent weight regain and ensures they continue to feel their best. We are dedicated to helping you sustain the progress you have worked hard to achieve.
