You can request a GLP-1 dose change at any time through My Subscriptions. All GLP-1 dose change requests are reviewed by our prescribing team before being approved.
How to change your GLP-1 dose
- Go to My Subscriptions at medexpress.co.uk/my-subscriptions
- Select "Change Dose"
- Choose your requested GLP-1 dose — you can request one dose higher than your current dose, or any number of doses lower
- Submit your request — no new consultation is required. Your prescriber will review your GLP-1 dose change request using your existing records and may contact you if they need more information
When will the GLP-1 dose change take effect?
- If your next order has not yet entered processing: the GLP-1 dose change will apply to that order
- If your order is already being processed (typically 2–3 working days before dispatch): the new GLP-1 dose will apply to the order after that
- If you don't request a change: your GLP-1 subscription will automatically continue at your current dose
Note: GLP-1 prescriptions cover up to 3 fills at the same dose, with a 3-month expiry.
