Is there a maintenance dose for GLP-1?

In practice, yes, though it is not formally labeled. Many prescribers transition long-term users to a lower dose once weight goals are met, to hold weight stable with fewer side effects than the full weight-loss dose. For semaglutide that is often 0.5 or 1.0 milligrams weekly; for tirzepatide it is often 5 or 7.5 milligrams weekly. It is loosely analogous to how blood pressure medication is used long-term: stay on the dose that maintains the effect, not the one that drove the initial change. Whether a maintenance dose is right for you depends on your goal, other conditions, side-effect history, and coverage. Some people prefer to stop entirely. Both can be valid. The decision belongs with your prescriber. Not medical advice.
