The maintenance dose is the dose you stay on once the step-by-step increases (titration) are over. For GLP-1 medications, it is chosen by your prescriber based on how well you respond and tolerate the medication, within the doses in the prescribing information.

Your maintenance dose, and any change to it, is your prescriber’s decision.
