Is maintenance dose for most people going to be 2.5 or 5 subject to pharmacy being ok? Or stick where you are? 10, for me now but only 2lb to go and goal weight is a bit below what I'd be delighted to keep.

just that really. I'm doing low carb and at least 16/8 pretty well.

No one knows, its all being made up. The leaflets inside just have it for use until goal weight.

There is no data on that, I know for me it won’t be five, that will have zero impact, and be pointless, I’m on ten, so it maybe 7.5. I’ve no idea.

I have been told have a chat with them and see what suits you personally.

The guidelines for maintenance are evolving all the time.

They are not "made up", many medications leaflets do not contain all their uses/doses which is why you follow the qualified prescribers guidance. They have the training and Q&A sessions directly with with Eli Lilly on what is permitted.

I take a medication that the leaflet says do not use beyond 7 days, I have been on it for years with the knowledge of my qualified prescriber.

@RelishingGrpSupport discussion with your prescriber for your maintenance dose, it should be a patient led conversation that they help support you with. You might prefer to try sticking where you are, or if you keep losing and want to maintain try tapering back down to a dose where you can comfortable consume enough calories to maintain.

I’m in exactly the same position as you! Within 2lb of goal and on 10. I’m assuming that I’ll stay on 10 for a while. I’m losing v slowly at the moment anyway, maybe 1.5 lbs per month. I feel taking 5 at this point won’t have any effect. I’m with Oushk having left Zava.
