For many patients, reaching their target weight is just the beginning of their journey. While Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide) are highly effective weight loss medications, the key to long-term success lies in careful tapering and maintenance. That’s where Weight Medics bespoke packages stand out.
Unlike many providers who only focus on the active weight loss phase, Weight Medics offers personalised programmes designed to help patients sustain their results, avoid rebound weight gain, and feel supported at every stage.
Why Maintenance Matters After Weight Loss
After a successful course of Mounjaro or Wegovy, some patients stop treatment abruptly—only to find their appetite and weight creeping back up. Clinical research shows that gradual tapering and maintenance support dramatically improves the chances of sustaining weight loss long-term.
At Weight Medics, our team of prescribers specialise in:
- Bespoke tapering plans – carefully adjusting medication dose to suit your progress.
- Maintenance packages – ensuring ongoing results while minimising reliance on medication.
- Holistic support – nutrition and lifestyle advice tailored to your needs.
What is the Lowest BMI Weight Medics Will Consider for Maintenance Plans?
We understand that some patients may already have reached a BMI below 25 but still want a structured plan to maintain their results.
- Patients with a BMI of 22.5 – 25 will be considered on a case-by-case basis. During consultation, you’ll be asked to provide details of your weight loss history so our prescribers can fully assess your needs.
- The lowest BMI Weight Medics will treat on a tapering or maintenance programme is 20.5.
- The final decision is always made by the prescriber, ensuring treatment is both safe and medically appropriate.
This patient-centred approach means you’ll receive a plan that’s tailored to your health profile and long-term goals.
Why Choose Weight Medics?
Weight Medics is unique in offering:
- Bespoke tapering and maintenance programmes
- Doctor-led consultations for safety and reassurance
- Long-term patient support rather than short courses
- Tailored treatment plans based on your health, BMI, and weight loss history

What are Mounjaro and Wegovy?
GLP1 Wegovy (semaglutide) or GIP Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) are prescription medications used to support weight management in people with obesity or weight-related health conditions. They work by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and satiety, helping people feel fuller for longer and reduce calorie intake.
What is a tapering plan for weight-loss medications?
A tapering plan involves gradually reducing the dosage of medications like GLP1 Wegovy (semaglutide) or GIP Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) instead of stopping them suddenly. This controlled reduction allows the body to adjust slowly as appetite and metabolism adapt
Why is tapering important after reaching your weight-loss goal?
Stopping GLP-1 medications abruptly can sometimes lead to increased appetite or weight regain as the appetite-regulating effects diminish. A personalised tapering strategy helps patients transition gradually while reinforcing healthy lifestyle habits such as balanced nutrition, portion control, and regular exercise.
What is a maintenance plan after using Mounjaro or Wegovy?
A maintenance plan focuses on preserving weight-loss results over the long term. Some patients continue with a lower maintenance dose of medication, while others transition fully to lifestyle-based weight management.
Will I regain weight if I stop taking Mounjaro or Wegovy?
Weight regain can occur if appetite increases and lifestyle habits are not maintained after stopping medication. However, many patients successfully maintain their results through structured support, behavioural coaching, and ongoing health monitoring.
