Less Frequent GLP1 Treatment Maintains Weight, Body Makeup, and Metabolic Health Improvements: A Case Series
Updated
Abstract
Essence
Reduced-frequency GLP1 maintenance dosing preserved weight and metabolic improvements after initial weekly therapy in this small case series.
Evidence
This retrospective case series followed 30 adults with weight plateau on weekly semaglutide or tirzepatide who switched usually to every-other-week dosing for an average of 36.3 weeks, with weight falling from 74.1 ± 2.4 kg at plateau to 72.4 ± 2.2 kg on maintenance dosing.
Caveat
The evidence is limited by a small retrospective uncontrolled design in patients who had already responded to GLP1 therapy.
