If you're considering discussing starting a dosage higher than typically suggested, there are certain circumstances under which this may be allowed:
If you have been on the same GLP-1 agonist medication, either at the requested dose or one titration level lower, for at least a month, and you haven't experienced any side effects.
If you're currently taking Tirzepatide or Semaglutide and wish to switch medications.
If you've received care outside of Maximus, you'll need to fulfill the same conditions listed above.
To help your healthcare provider make the best decision for your health, you should provide some documentation from your previous provider. The necessary documents would include:
Prescription notes from your previous provider, detailing your medication.
Information showing how long you've been on the prescribed medication (we require at least a month's duration).
Proof that you haven't experienced any side effects while on the medication.
Your health and safety are our primary concern. So, these measures are designed to ensure you get the right dosage for your specific needs.
