GLP-1 medications work best when the dose is increased gradually — this is called titration. It gives your body time to adjust and significantly reduces side effects.

You don't have to go to the maximum dose. Many members stay on a lower or middle dose if it's working well for them. Your prescriber will review your progress and side effects regularly to make sure you're on the right dose for you.
If you're tolerating your current dose well but want to stay on it longer before increasing, that's absolutely an option — just let your clinician know during your review.
