Traditionally, GLP-1 medications have been prescribed at higher doses for individuals who have not seen substantial weight loss results through dieting and exercise
That said, these numbers come from different studies with different populations and durations
Ultimately, the decision to use GLP-1 medications should be made in partnership with healthcare providers who understand both your health goals and financial situation
This includes people taking insulin or sulfonylureas, patients with diabetes, patients on blood pressure medications, patients with kidney disease or dehydration risk, patients with a gallbladder history, patients with significant reflux or gastroparesis symptoms, patients with eating disorder history, and patients who have difficulty meeting protein or fluid needs
Prescriptions are free in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland
