Switching GLP-1s
Words you meet in patient communities rather than on a label. Plateau, microdosing, switching.
Definition
Moving between GLP-1s, most often semaglutide to tirzepatide. Expect to re-titrate; both the old drug's washout and the new drug's ladder apply. A seller who switches you without restarting titration is doing you no favors.
