Introduction If youre taking a GLP1 medication like semaglutide or tirzepatide (sold as Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, and Wegovy), youve likely heard that rotating injection sites is a good idea but why does it matter, and how do you actually keep track of it
If the FDA approves GLP-1 weight loss patches in the future, patients using the patches may experience similar side effects as subcutaneous GLP-1 injections, including GI-related adverse effects
I would not call this microdosing
In his practice, patients who begin with lower doses of Ozempic or Mounjaro often report fewer side effects and greater comfort, which improves their ability to stay consistent with treatment
Others need the third or fourth tier
Additionally, they slow the digestion process, which keeps you feeling full for longer, so you feel less compelled to snack in between meals
