Fewer shots, same weight loss results? πβοΈ
New research is exploring whether people taking GLP-1 medications like Ozempic or Wegovy can maintain their weight loss with less frequent injections.
These medications help people lose about 15β20% of their body weight on average β but theyβre typically prescribed as a weekly, long-term treatment since many regain weight after stopping.
Now, a small study suggests some people may be able to space doses every 2β6 weeks and still keep the weight off β while also maintaining improvements in health markers.
Experts say tapering could potentially:
π° Lower long-term costs
π Reduce side effects
π Help maintain results
But itβs not a one-size-fits-all approach β and changing your dosing schedule without medical guidance isnβt recommended.
π¬ Bottom line: fewer injections might work for some people, but it depends on the individual.
