Our comprehensive maintenance plan

You have done the hard work and reached your goal weight—so what happens next?

It is natural to feel anxious about the transition after reaching a healthy BMI. To support you in maintaining your weight loss and the healthy habits you have developed, MedExpress offers a continued maintenance path:

• Extended Treatment: Our prescribers may continue your Mounjaro or Wegovy treatment for as long as necessary to stabilise your weight.
• BMI Threshold: You can typically continue treatment as long as your BMI remains above 21 and you meet all other safety eligibility criteria.
• Clinical Monitoring: We conduct thorough check-ins to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment if necessary, ensuring you continue to enjoy the results you have worked hard to achieve.- BMI Threshold Considerations: Treatment is generally discontinued once your BMI is within the healthy range, unless your prescriber advises otherwise.- Maintenance Dosing: A weekly dose of 5 mg is typically recommended for maintenance. This helps maintain appetite suppression and weight stability during the transition phase.
• Tapering: Gradually reducing the dosage under clinical supervision is another approach to minimize potential side effects and ensure a smooth transition off the medication.

Why choose MedExpress for maintenance?

Thousands of patients have successfully maintained their results with our help and continue to trust us for their ongoing weight management needs.
