Dr. Charles Mok describes treating thousands of patients with semaglutide using a pulsing method instead of continuous weekly doses. He reports using less total drug, spending less money, and seeing fewer side effects while getting equal or better weight loss results.

Semaglutide done in an episodic or pulse tile fashion is effective. We've treated thousands of patients this way over the last couple of years. Way less drug overall use, way less cost overall, way less side effects overall and more effectiveness than we're seeing in the clinical studies with using it indefinitely. Fundamentally, we like to get people, you know, off of medicines, but if you're doing it on a pulsatile fashion, it's kind of doing the same thing. We're using less drug overall and getting the same benefit. Think about altering your mindset of having to take this drug forever. If you're somebody that's always kind of struggled with your weight, you want some long term benefit. It can be done without having to take a drug every single week for the rest of your life. It can be done in a pulsal fashion. These drugs are safe, they certainly have side effects, but the side effects are greatly outweighed by the benefit.
