When the medication stops, your progress shouldn't. Here's how Loome handles weaning — and an indicative schedule for Wegovy, Mounjaro and Ozempic.
Coming off a GLP-1 medication isn't something to do overnight. Stopping too quickly can bring back the food noise, swing your blood sugar, and undo months of work. A gradual taper gives your body, and your new habits, time to take the lead.
Your clinical team designs your taper based on which medication you've been on, how long, and how your body has responded. The schedules below are roughly what that looks like.
Slow tapering prevents the sudden return of food noise that comes with stopping abruptly.
Your digestion and blood sugar need time to adjust without the medication.
By the final stretch, your daily habits are doing more of the work than the medication.

These schedules are templates. Your actual taper is decided with your clinical team, based on how you've responded to treatment.
