- pbs_pip — licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose £120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people… 09:27
- pbs_pip — went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step 09:32
- pbs_pip — i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that 09:35

SELECT was cardiovascular outcomes in people with overweight and existing disease, not a weight trial
licensed ceiling for weight is 2.4 weekly, anything above that is not a licensed dose
£120 a month for compounded against what brand costs locally is why most people here use vials
half life is about a week so youre roughly four to five weeks to steady state on any new dose
five week steps worked better for me than four, purely on how the second week felt
went 1 to 1.7 too fast and spent two weeks regretting it, dropped back and repeated the step
my 15 vial in 1.5ml gives 2mg/ml so 2.4 lands on 30 units, thats why i picked that volume
steady state takes weeks
i dont think the plateau is a dose problem most of the time, but i cant prove that
vials not pens here
the appetite effect faded for me around 3 months and going up fixed it for a while
if youre comparing brand to compounded, dose accuracy in the vial is the variable, not the molecule
held there too
im 22 months in at 5 and the appetite effect faded, is that a thing
FLOW was the kidney outcomes trial and it gets quoted in here for things it didnt measure
