Yes, you can switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide. Here's what you need to know about the process:
How to Switch Medications
Managing Your Subscription
Update your subscription through your Maximus dashboard.
Important: You should finish your current semaglutide prescription completely before starting tirzepatide with your next refill.
Dosage When Switching
When you switch to tirzepatide, you will not start from the beginning dosage. Instead, your new tirzepatide dose will be determined based on your current semaglutide dose using medical equivalency guidelines.
Note: Your doctor will determine the most appropriate tirzepatide dose for you based on your current semaglutide dosage and medical history. While we use established dosage equivalency guidelines, your final prescription is always at your doctor's discretion.
Timeline for Switching
Standard Process: Complete your current semaglutide supply, then begin tirzepatide with your next scheduled refill
Early Start Requests: If you need to start tirzepatide before finishing your current prescription, this requires additional medical review and may disrupt your regular prescription schedule.
