Requesting a Dosage Adjustment

This article explains how Levity dosage adjustments are reviewed, how your monthly treatment check-in affects your dose, when to complete your check-in, what to do if you submit incorrect information, and how to request a dosage increase or decrease. Use this article if you want to change your current dose, report side effects, request a dose increase, request a dose decrease, or understand how Levity prescribers make dosing decisions.


Overview

Levity dosage adjustments are determined using the information provided during your monthly treatment check-in.

Providing accurate and timely information helps your prescriber make safe and appropriate dosing decisions based on:

  • Your treatment progress

  • Side effects or tolerability

  • Weight loss response

  • Changes to your medical history

  • Current medications or lab results


How is my dosage determined?

Monthly check-in questionnaire

Each month, Levity sends a follow-up check-in request before your next refill is processed.

During your monthly check-in, you may be asked about:

  • Your current medication dose

  • Side effects or symptoms

  • Appetite and weight loss progress

  • New medications or medical conditions

  • Treatment goals and overall response

Providing complete and accurate information helps support safe prescribing decisions.


Prescriber review

After submission, a licensed clinician reviews your monthly check-in before your next prescription is approved.

The prescriber may decide to:

  • Maintain your current dose

  • Increase your dose

  • Decrease your dose

  • Delay or pause treatment if medically necessary

Dose decisions are based on both safety and treatment effectiveness.


When should I complete my monthly check-in?

Recommended timing

Complete your monthly check-in within approximately 7 days before your next scheduled order date.

This timing helps ensure:

  • Your prescriber reviews recent treatment information

  • Your next shipment is not delayed

  • Your requested dose adjustment can be considered in time


Avoid submitting too early

Submitting your check-in too early may not accurately reflect:

  • Recent side effects

  • Current treatment response

  • Updated progress information


Avoid submitting too late

If you miss the check-in window:

  • Your refill may process at your current dose

  • Dose adjustments may need to wait until the next refill cycle


What if I submitted incorrect information?

If you notice an error after submitting your monthly check-in, contact the Levity Customer Care Team as soon as possible.

Examples of incorrect information may include:

  • Entering the wrong current dose

  • Missing side effect information

  • Incorrect weight or progress details

  • Missing medical updates

Can my information be corrected?

Before clinical review

If your monthly check-in has not yet been reviewed, the Levity team may be able to update the information before prescribing decisions are made.


After prescription approval

If your prescription has already been approved and processed:

  • Dose changes for the current refill may no longer be possible

  • Adjustments may need to wait until the next monthly cycle


How do I request a dosage increase or decrease?

1. Complete your monthly check-in fully

Provide detailed and honest information about:

  • Side effects

  • Appetite changes

  • Weight loss plateaus

  • Tolerability concerns

  • Progress toward treatment goals

2. Indicate your requested dosage change

During your check-in, explain whether you believe:

  • A higher dose may be appropriate

  • A lower dose may improve tolerability

  • Your current dose should remain unchanged

Including clear reasons helps support clinical review.

3. Upload supporting information if available

You may be able to upload supporting documents such as:

  • Recent lab results

  • Blood glucose records

  • Notes from another healthcare provider

  • Relevant medical updates

Supporting documentation may help provide additional clinical context.

4. Prescriber evaluation

The Levity clinician reviews your request alongside:

  • Your medical history

  • Previous treatment response

  • Side effects

  • Current treatment progress

The clinician may:

  • Approve the requested adjustment

  • Recommend a different dose

  • Decline the adjustment if not considered medically appropriate

5. Receive confirmation

You will receive confirmation through:

  • Email communication

  • Your Levity patient dashboard

If approved, your next refill will reflect the updated dose.


What happens after a dosage adjustment is approved?

Pharmacy processing and shipping

Approved dosage changes are applied during the standard processing timeline.

Most orders are:

  • Processed within approximately 5–7 business days

  • Shipped using FedEx Overnight delivery


Ongoing monthly monitoring

Monthly check-ins remain required after a dose adjustment.

Ongoing monitoring helps clinicians:

  • Track your response to the new dose

  • Monitor side effects

  • Determine whether further adjustments are needed


What if I miss the deadline to request a dosage change?

If you miss your monthly check-in deadline:

  • Your refill may process at your current dose

  • Requested dose changes may need to wait until the next cycle


Can exceptions ever be made?

If you missed the deadline because of circumstances such as:

  • Illness

  • Technical issues

  • Dashboard access problems

Contact the Levity Customer Care Team as soon as possible.

In some situations, an accelerated review may be possible.
