There's no need to taper off Mounjaro® or take a break between treatments when transitioning to Wegovy®. Moving directly from one GLP-1 medication to the other helps you maintain a consistent routine and prevents an interruption in your weight-loss progress.

How Do I Manage the Transition from Mounjaro® to Wegovy®?
The process for switching from Mounjaro® to Wegovy® is straightforward:
Take your final scheduled Mounjaro® dose as usual, on your normal injection day.
Start your Wegovy® treatment exactly seven days later.
By starting Wegovy® on what would have been your next Mounjaro® injection day, MedExpress aims to keep the active levels of GLP-1 medication in your system as stable as possible. This transition is standard MedExpress clinical practice, designed to support your long-term treatment plan without requiring a "washout" period between Mounjaro® and Wegovy®.
What Should I Consider Before Switching?
Clinical approval: every switch from Mounjaro® to Wegovy® requires a new consultation, reviewed and approved by a MedExpress prescriber.
Consistency: maintaining your weekly injection schedule is the best way to help your new medication remain effective and well-tolerated.
Side effect monitoring: any new or unusual side effects during the first few weeks of your transition are reviewed as part of your ongoing MedExpress care.
