This is educational only. Your prescribed dose, concentration, and instructions may differ.

Why titration exists

GLP-1 medications are commonly increased gradually to improve tolerability. The right schedule depends on the specific medication, formulation, response, and side effects.

This is not a prescription

Dose changes should be made only with a licensed clinician. Compounded and branded medications can have different concentrations, pens, instructions, and safety considerations.

What to do with the result

Save the number, compare it with your goals, and bring it into the Caliber intake. A clinician-reviewed plan can account for medical history, medications, tolerability, and whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate.
