Why doses may change
Many GLP-1 medications are started at a lower dose. A clinician may increase the dose over time to improve tolerability and follow the product's approved instructions.
Your schedule can depend on the medication, indication, side effects, other conditions, and other medicines you take.
Do not calculate your own clinical dose
This site does not provide individualized dosing advice or dose calculators. If you are unsure what to take, pause and contact your prescriber or pharmacist.
Do not use another person's schedule, a social media dosing chart, or a dosing plan for a different medication.
What is useful to track
- Injection date and time
- Medication name exactly as prescribed
- Dose recorded from your prescription label or clinician's plan
- Symptoms that affect daily life
- Questions you want to ask before the next dose change
