This article explains how to transition from semaglutide to Compounded Liraglutide with B12. Use this article if you need to know how long to wait after your last semaglutide dose, what to expect during the transition, how to manage hunger or cravings, or how to request a medication switch through your Levity account.
Do I need to stop semaglutide for a certain time before starting liraglutide?
Yes. There should typically be a washout period of about 14 days between your last dose of semaglutide and your first dose of Compounded Liraglutide with B12.
For example, if you administered semaglutide on a Friday, you should wait until the following Friday to start your Compounded Liraglutide with B12 schedule. This washout period helps prevent overlapping medication effects and reduces the risk of side effects, such as nausea.
Your prescribing clinician will guide the exact timing for switching from semaglutide to Compounded Liraglutide with B12 based on your dose and response to treatment.
