Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy)
Some studies have alleged that patients can regain as much as two-thirds of lost weight once they cease taking the drug
This three-hour buffer allows time for food to digest properly, especially as lying down right after eating can cause acid reflux to move back up into the esophagus, causing discomfort
For chronic weight management (Wegovy), the maintenance dose is 2.4 mg once weekly, reached through a more extended titration schedule: 0.25 mg for four weeks, 0.5 mg for four weeks, 1 mg for four weeks, 1.7 mg for four weeks, and finally 2.4 mg weekly
In practice, some prescribers may use semaglutide off-label in selected patients who have insulin resistance, excess weight, or features of metabolic syndrome, but this should only happen under medical supervision
