If you're restarting your treatment with MedExpress after a break, please follow the guidance below based on how long it’s been since your last injection.
Time since last injection: Less than 8 weeks
You have two options:
- Stay on your previous dose - If it worked well for you and side effects were manageable, you can continue with the same dose.
- Move up to the next dose - If you tolerated your previous dose well and would like to further support weight loss, you can move up to the next dose, following the recommended schedule.
Time since last injection: Between 8 and 12 weeks
Your prescriber will decide whether to:
- Continue your previous dose, or
- Step down to a lower dose, depending on how you responded to your last treatment.
Time since last injection: Between 12 weeks and 6 months
Your prescriber will recommend one of the following options:
- Continue your previous dose
- Step down to a lower dose
- Restart treatment from the beginning.
Time since last injection: More than 6 months
If it’s been over 6 months since your last treatment with MedExpress, you’ll need to restart your treatment at the lowest dose.
Important notes:
- This guidance assumes your last dose was well tolerated. If you experienced side effects that affected your daily life, we will recommend staying at your current dose or reducing it.
- All decisions will be made at the prescribers’s discretion.
