Our Comprehensive Maintenance Plan
Reaching your goal weight on Mounjaro® or Wegovy® is a significant achievement, but maintaining it is just as important. It's natural to feel uncertain about the transition after reaching a healthy BMI. To help you maintain your weight loss and the healthy habits you've developed, MedExpress offers continued clinical support, which includes:
Extended treatment: MedExpress 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 Mounjaro® or Wegovy® treatment while your BMI remains above 21 and you continue to meet MedExpress's clinical eligibility criteria.
Clinical monitoring: MedExpress carries out regular reviews to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your Mounjaro® or Wegovy® treatment.
BMI Threshold Considerations
Mounjaro® or Wegovy® treatment is generally discontinued once your BMI reaches the healthy range, unless your MedExpress prescriber advises otherwise based on your individual circumstances.
Maintenance Dosing
A weekly 5mg dose is typically recommended for maintenance. This dose helps maintain appetite suppression and support weight stability during the transition phase.
Tapering Your Treatment
Gradually reducing your Mounjaro® or Wegovy® 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 MedExpress's support and continue to trust MedExpress with their ongoing weight management.
MedExpress's goal is to help make the progress you've achieved with Mounjaro® or Wegovy® 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.
