How Long Should I Stay on GLP-1 Medications?

The duration of GLP-1 medication use varies based on individual needs and weight loss goals. There is no one-size-fits-all timeline, but here are key factors to consider:

✔ Short-Term Use (A Few Months to a Year): Some people use GLP-1 medications to jumpstart their weight loss and transition to a sustainable diet and lifestyle once they reach their goal.

✔ Long-Term Use (Ongoing Treatment): For others, GLP-1s help manage weight long-term, especially if they have a history of regaining weight after stopping previous weight loss efforts. These medications can be used as part of a long-term weight management strategy with guidance from a healthcare provider.

✔ Doctor-Supervised Adjustments: Your healthcare provider will monitor your progress, side effects, and metabolic health to determine whether you should continue, adjust your dosage, or gradually taper off.

💡 Important: Stopping GLP-1 medications suddenly without a proper transition plan may increase the risk of weight regain. That’s why we provide ongoing medical support to ensure you maintain your results in a safe and sustainable way.
