If you’re using weight loss injections through Numan’s Weight Loss Programme, coming off the medication is a carefully managed process. Our Numan clinicians will guide you through a structured plan to either gradually reduce your dose or, if appropriate, stop abruptly. Both approaches are clinically accepted, and the choice will depend on your individual circumstances. This approach helps your body adjust, making it easier to manage appetite and maintain weight loss over the long term.

The process typically takes several weeks and is tailored to your progress and individual needs. Reducing the medication slowly can minimise the risk of weight regain by supporting a smoother transition, both physically and psychologically.

Mounjaro, for example, typically remains in your system for about four weeks after your last dose, allowing its effects to taper off naturally.

Throughout this phase, you’ll continue to receive support from our clinical team, focusing on nutrition, exercise, and behaviour change, to reinforce the healthy habits you’ve built during the programme. Specific strategies include focusing on balanced nutrition with adequate protein and fiber, incorporating both aerobic and resistance training exercises, and practicing mindful eating, stress management, and ensuring adequate sleep. Additionally, health coaching through the Numan app is available to provide personalized advice and support.

Mounjaro typically takes about four weeks to fully clear from your system after your last dose.

Yes, you can apply to restart Mounjaro if needed, provided your BMI remains within the eligible range.

If appetite increases during tapering, focus on strengthening dietary habits, maintaining physical activity, and managing stress. Adjust the pace of tapering if necessary, and consider consulting a health coach for additional support.
