Maintain your results for good

With weekly check-ins, our Essential Nutrition Course, and long-term maintenance coaching, you’ll build sustainable habits that support lasting weight management and confidence.

1. Check your eligibility

According to NICE guidance on tirzepatide (Mounjaro)¹, treatment should be regularly reviewed and is usually continued only while it leads to meaningful weight loss and health benefits.Clinicians are advised to discuss how long treatment might continue and when to reduce your Mounjaro dose, including the plan for stopping.

If you want to switch to Medicspot, simply complete our free online assessment to see if tapering is right for you.

Our UK-registered clinicians will review your answers and your NHS Summary Care Record to confirm that reducing your dose is safe and appropriate before prescribing.

2. How to decrease your Mounjaro dose

A gradual approach helps your body adapt and reduces the risk of appetite rebound. Many clinicians use a practical approach of reducing by 2.5mg roughly every 4 weeks, mirroring the way tirzepatide doses are increased.

Your exact plan should be tailored to your symptoms, weight trend, and side effects. At Medicspot, you’ll receive ongoing check-ins with your dedicated health coach and get support from our clinical team to ensure you feel confident at every stage.

3. Stay supported after GLP-1s

As you wean off Mounjaro, you’ll continue to receive weekly contact from your Medicspot health coach, plus full access to our Essential Nutrition Course. These resources focus on meal planning, managing hunger cues, and maintaining new habits and activity – key factors in sustaining your results once injections stop.

You’ll also receive 12 months of free aftercare once your medication ends, including behavioural support, nutrition guidance, and relapse-prevention coaching.

NICE highlights that people stopping weight management medicines should receive advice and support for at least a year to help keep the weight off².
