Switching between medications

Thinking about switching from one GLP-1 medication to another? Whether you're moving from semaglutide to tirzepatide (or the other way around), we're here to help make the transition smooth.

Why do people switch?

There are several reasons you might consider switching medications:

  • You've plateaued on your current medication and want to try something different

  • You're experiencing side effects that aren't improving

  • Your doctor recommends a different option based on your progress

  • You'd like to try a dual-action medication (like tirzepatide) after starting with a single-action one (like semaglutide)

Whatever your reason, switching is completely normal and our doctors can guide you through it safely.

How to switch: step by step

The process depends on whether you're already an &you customer or coming from another provider.

If you're new to &you

Welcome! Here's how to get started:

  1. Reach out to us. Email [email protected] or message us on Facebook, Instagram, or TikTok @andyou.ph. Let us know you'd like to switch medications and include:

    • Your current medication and dosage

    • How long you've been on it

    • Any prescription or medical records from your current provider (if available)

  2. We'll set you up. Our team will help prepare your order and schedule a consultation with one of our doctors.

  3. Talk to the doctor. During your consultation, let them know your previous medical history, and your intent to switch. They'll review your history, recommend the right starting dose for your new medication, and create a transition plan tailored to you.

That's it, we'll handle the rest.

If you're already an &you customer

Even easier:

  1. Book a consultation. Log into your account and schedule a call with one of our doctors. Consultations are available 24/7.

  2. Let the doctor know. Tell them you're interested in switching medications. They'll review your progress, discuss your options, and recommend next steps.

  3. Get your new medication. Once your doctor approves the switch, you can place your order for the new medication right away.

No need to email or message us separately, just book the consultation and your doctor will take care of everything.

What to expect during the switch

Your doctor will guide you on:

  • When to stop your current medication

  • When to start the new one (there's usually a short gap between your last dose and your first dose of the new medication)

  • What starting dose is right for you based on your current dosage and tolerance

  • What side effects to watch for as your body adjusts

Switching doesn't mean starting from scratch — your doctor will factor in your existing progress to find the right approach.
