Typical step therapy requirements for semaglutide: Step 1 Lifestyle modification (diet and exercise) documented for 3-6 months [2] : Step 2: Trial of a lower-cost weight loss medication (phentermine, Contrave/naltrexone-bupropion, or orlistat) for 3-6 months Step 3: If steps 1 and 2 fail to produce adequate results, semaglutide is approved The practical advice: if you have not tried other treatments yet, your fastest path to semaglutide coverage may be to start the step therapy process now
Remember, however, that this doesn't replace or override the manufacturer's advice
Whichever path you choose, you dont have to do it alone
