Obesity Week 2025: Every Other Week for Maintenance Dosing Okay

[Biglemon]

De-escalating GLP-1s to Every-2-Weeks Maintenance Option

In a small study, patients who have successfully lost weight with weekly GLP-1 treatment maintain their weight loss and metabolic improvements with every-other-week dosing.

This study seems silly, given that the drugs' half lives are what they are. Who needs alternating-week normal vs crave/binge feelings, thoughts and behaviors?

IMO the study's design is in support of the massively overpriced autoinjectors, not for the most beneficial maintenance dosing protocol.

Yes it makes more sense to find the lowest dose that keeps weight stable.
