Switching from one GLP-1 to another: the safe way

Switching your weight-loss injection to a new GLP-1 drug is your doctor's choice, not a do-it-yourself swap. Each new drug has its own start-low, go-slow dose plan, so you restart at the new drug's small starting dose and climb up again to keep your stomach calm.
