The schedule of gradually increasing your dose over weeks or months, starting low and stepping up, usually every four weeks, until you reach your maintenance dose. GLP-1s are titrated specifically to reduce side effects like nausea, which tend to cluster in the days after each increase and then fade. Going slower than the standard schedule is a legitimate, label-permitted option if a dose is hard to tolerate.
