The subcutaneous dosage initiation and monthly titration will be based on the prescribing guidelines outlined by the pharmaceutical manufacturer to a maximum dose of 2.4 mg per week
Holding at a dose for an extra 4 weeks before escalating is a medically supported strategy when: Nausea or vomiting persists beyond 2 weeks at the current dose You are unable to eat at least 1,000 calories per day comfortably Dehydration symptoms appear (dark urine, dizziness on standing, dry mouth) You are losing weight faster than 1 to 2 pounds per week on the current dose (aggressive weight loss increases side effect risk) In the STEP trials, delayed escalation did not compromise overall weight loss outcomes at 68 weeks
