Coming off your GLP-1, with your weight in view.
Taper Coach is a switch in Phaze's medication settings, under Coming off medication. Turn it on when you and your prescriber decide to step down or stop. From that day, your Estimated Levels chart fades to zero over four weeks, and if your logged weight climbs during those weeks, Phaze puts a card on Home suggesting a check-in with your provider. It never sets or changes a dose.
At a glance
- Taper Coach is a switch, not a taper plan. It never sets or changes your dose.
- Find it in your medication settings, under Coming off medication.
- For injectable and oral GLP-1 medications, including Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovy and Zepbound.
- Free for everyone.
- Talk to your doctor before any taper or stop. Taper Coach informs that conversation, it doesn't replace it.
What Taper Coach does
Your chart fades over four weeks
From the day you turn Taper Coach on, your Estimated Levels chart fades in a straight line to zero across 28 days. Doses you logged before that day keep their curve, so you can still see where you started.
A card if your weight trends up
During those four weeks, Phaze compares your first and last weigh-in of the past seven days. If your weight rose by more than 1 lb (about 0.5 kg), Home shows a card saying your weight is trending up and suggesting you check in with your provider.
A taper note on every dose
While Taper Coach is on, each dose you log can carry an optional taper note, and your weekly recap names the week of your taper and whether your weight held steady, went up or went down.
Private by design
Taper Coach works from the doses and weights you already log, on your phone. Analytics only counts that it was switched on or off, or that the card appeared, and never receives a weight or a dose.
How it works
Four steps, and no alarms.
- 01
Turn it on
When you and your prescriber decide to step down or stop, open your medication settings and switch on Coming off medication. Phaze notes the day you turned it on.
- 02
Your chart fades
From that day, your Estimated Levels chart fades to zero across four weeks. Earlier doses keep their curve, so you can see where you started.
- 03
Keep weighing in
Log your weight as usual. If it rises by more than 1 lb (about 0.5 kg) within a week during those four weeks, Home shows a card suggesting a check-in with your provider.
- 04
Bring the record to your appointment
Your weekly recap names the week of your taper, and each dose can carry a taper note. After four weeks, Home tells you the taper is complete. Taper Coach never sets or changes a dose.
Why it helps
A clear record of the weeks you step down.
- Your prescriber plans the taper. Phaze keeps the record: doses, taper notes and weigh-ins, in one place.
- A chart that fades with your taper is easier to read than one that still draws a full curve after you stop.
- A rising weight reaches you as one quiet card, not as a surprise at your next appointment.
- There is nothing new to set up. It works from what you already log.
Frequently asked
Two things, for four weeks from the day you turn it on. It fades your Estimated Levels chart to zero, and it shows a card on Home if your logged weight rises by more than 1 lb (about 0.5 kg) within a week. While it is on, each dose can also carry a taper note, and your weekly recap names the week of your taper.
No. Phaze provides general health software, not medical advice. Taper Coach does not suggest a dose, a schedule or a date. Every taper or stop decision belongs with you and your prescribing clinician.
That's a decision for you and your doctor. Taper Coach doesn't recommend a timeline; it keeps your doses and your weight in one place for that conversation.
Only while Taper Coach is on, during its four weeks. Phaze compares your first and last weigh-in of the past seven days and shows the card when your weight rose by more than 1 lb (about 0.5 kg). With fewer than two weigh-ins that week, it shows nothing.
Yes. Taper Coach is part of dose tracking, and Phaze never puts dose tracking behind Phaze Pro.
Home tells you the taper is complete and to keep monitoring. You can switch Taper Coach off at any time, and your chart goes back to your logged doses.
Wind down with your weight in view.
Taper Coach is free for everyone. Turn it on when you step down, keep logging, and bring a clear record to every prescriber visit.
