Adjusting your dosage in a Maximus protocol involves a few steps and clinician review. This article covers the process, the role of your clinician, and answers to common questions.
Overview
Dosage adjustments in a Maximus protocol are guided by your prescribing clinician. Changes to your dosage are not automatic and require clinical review and approval. This ensures that any adjustments are safe and appropriate based on your medical history and progress.
Steps to adjust your dosage
Message your clinician. Use the messaging feature in your Maximus dashboard to discuss your progress and any concerns with your prescribing clinician.
Clinician review. Your clinician reviews your medical history and your protocol to determine whether a dosage adjustment is appropriate.
Plan update. Once approved, your subscription updates to reflect the new dosage. Any price differences will be communicated through your account.
Follow guidance. After your plan is updated, your clinician will provide instructions on when and how to adjust your dose. They may also request additional labs based on your specific needs.
