GLP-1 medications, such as Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, are typically taken once a week. Your provider will help determine the best dosing schedule for your needs, but the once-weekly schedule is standard for most patients.
Key Points About Frequency
Same Day Each Week: Choose a day that works well with your routine, and take the medication on the same day each week to maintain consistency.
Missed Dose: If you miss your scheduled dose, take it as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) of the missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule the following week.
No Daily Dosing: Unlike some medications, GLP-1 treatments are designed for weekly use, making them convenient and easy to incorporate into your routine.
By following this once-weekly schedule, the medication remains effective at managing appetite, blood sugar levels, and supporting weight loss. If you have any questions about your dosing schedule, feel free to reach out to our team for assistance!
