At MedExpress, achieving a healthy weight is only the beginning of your journey. Maintaining your success is equally important. We provide a structured framework to support you after you reach your target weight, helping you maintain your results over the long term.

Our Comprehensive Maintenance Plan
Reaching your goal weight is a significant achievement, but maintaining it is just as important.
It is natural to feel uncertain about the transition after reaching a healthy BMI. To help you maintain your weight loss and the healthy habits you have developed, MedExpress offers continued clinical support.
Extended treatment: Our prescribers may continue your Mounjaro® or Wegovy® treatment for as long as clinically appropriate to help stabilise your weight.
BMI threshold: You can usually continue treatment while your BMI remains above 21 and you continue to meet our clinical eligibility criteria.
Clinical monitoring: We carry out regular reviews to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment.
BMI Threshold Considerations
Treatment is generally discontinued once your BMI reaches the healthy range, unless your prescriber advises otherwise based on your individual circumstances.
Maintenance Dosing
A weekly 5 mg dose is typically recommended for maintenance. This helps maintain appetite suppression and support weight stability during the transition phase.
Tapering Your Treatment
Gradually reducing your dose under clinical supervision is another approach that may help minimise side effects and support a smooth transition off medication.
Why Choose MedExpress for Maintenance?
Maintaining a healthy weight often requires a different approach than losing it initially.
Thousands of patients have successfully maintained their results with our support and continue to trust MedExpress with their ongoing weight management.
Our goal is to help make the progress you've achieved a lasting part of your lifestyle.
Some patients may eventually transition off medication completely, following a structured plan that combines lifestyle changes with continued clinical support.
