V. Six Reasons for Slow Results and Solutions
1. Insufficient dosage
● Observation : No change in weight after 4 weeks of use.
● Countermeasure : Increase the dosage according to the prescribed steps: 2.5mg → 5mg → 10mg → 15mg.
2. Diet not adjusted
● Key point : Carbohydrate intake still needs to be controlled (recommended <150g/day)
3. Severe insulin resistance
● Judgment criterion : HOMA-IR > 3.0
● Supportive treatment : Combining with metformin can increase the rate by 30%.
4. Interference from other drugs
● Note: Glucocorticoids, antipsychotics, etc.
