1
Week 1-2
2.5mg

Body adjusts

During the first month, many patients are still adjusting to appetite changes, food volume, hydration, and GI tolerance. Track weight, waist, appetite, side effects, and medication questions so the clinician can make safe dose decisions.

First losses

Some people notice appetite and portion changes early; others need longer or are not a fit for treatment. Results may vary, and side effects should be discussed with the prescribing clinician.

Therapeutic dose

4
Week 9-12
5-7.5mg

Sustained progress
