GLP-1 Dosage Chart and Personalized Treatment Overview

Why Dosage Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All

GLP-1 therapy involves more than just dosage numbers; it's a personalized medical decision. Licensed healthcare providers consider multiple factors before determining your dosage or titration plan, including:

• Treatment objectives (e.g., glycemic control, weight management, appetite regulation)
  
• Existing health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or cardiovascular issues
  
• Allergies or sensitivities to medication components
  
• Potential side effects like nausea or gastrointestinal discomfort
  
• Individual tolerance to dosage escalations over time
  
  

Licensed healthcare providers may recommend a titration schedule that deviates from standard protocols and may customize formulations with supportive additives to manage side effects based on each individual.

Can Supplemental Ingredients Help with Side Effects?

Some formulations of GLP-1 medications, particularly compounded formulations, may include  supplemental ingredients designed to support digestive comfort and nutrient metabolism.

• Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): It may help reduce feelings of nausea, a common side effect during the initial stages of GLP-1 therapy.
  
• Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Supports red blood cell production and metabolism; GLP-1 therapy may influence Vitamin B12 absorption in some individuals.
  
• Glycine: An amino acid that may support healthy gastrointestinal function and aid in muscle health.
  
  

These supplemental ingredients are only included when clinically appropriate and prescribed by a licensed healthcare provider familiar with your individual health profile. Eligibility is not guaranteed.

What to Expect During Your Treatment Journey

Your experience with GLP-1 therapy may include three key phases, determined and monitored by a licensed healthcare provider:

Initial Dosing (Weeks 1–4): Treatment typically begins with a lower dose, which may support tolerability and allow the body time to adapt.

Titration Phase (Weeks 5–12): Dosage may be gradually increased through a shared decision between you and your licensed healthcare provider, based on your individual tolerance, response to therapy, and clinical monitoring.

Maintenance Phase (Month 3 and beyond): Your licensed healthcare provider will determine your optimal dose based on your ongoing response to treatment and will continue to monitor and adjust your plan as clinically appropriate.
