Step 3 Add the Water to the Vial Insert the syringe needle into the peptide vial at a slight angle and slowly add the water
If considering a dose reduction for maintenance: Wait until weight has stabilized for at least 4 weeks at your current dose Reduce by one dose step (e.g., 12mg to 8mg), do not jump multiple steps Monitor weight closely for 8 weeks after the reduction If weight begins to increase, return to the previous maintenance dose The phase 3 trials specifically tested 4mg as a maintenance dose, suggesting Lilly sees viability in lower maintenance doses What happens if you stop Weight regain after discontinuing GLP-1 agonists is well documented with semaglutide and tirzepatide
Emerging therapies, such as Tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, and Orforglipron, a nonpeptide oral GLP-1 RA, continue to expand the potential of this medication class in treating metabolic diseases (23)(24)
It disrupts your protocol timing, potentially requiring you to restart the escalation process if the gap extends beyond a week
