A recent New York Times <\/em>story described a new fad: \u201cmicrodosing\u201d GLP-1 anti-obesity drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and Zepbound. I was asked to discuss the topic<\/a> on CBS News<\/em> last night, which gave me a chance to look into this topic more deeply. I\u2019d like to share my read on this with you.<\/p>\n

The short answer.<\/h4>\n

There\u2019s no evidence that microdosing\u2014taking very small doses of a GLP-1 in hopes of harnessing the benefits without the side effects\u2014will work for most people. There\u2019s a chance that lower-than-standard doses might help a subset of patients, but if true, it\u2019s likely that the doses would be among the lower doses already tested by the drug companies; that is, lower doses but not truly \u201cmicro\u201d doses. Keep in mind, low doses (4-5% of the eventual highest doses now used) failed to show benefits<\/em> in early trials. However, it\u2019s worth saying that low (but not \u201cmicro\u201d) doses could<\/em> help a select few people who have unusually strong responses to these drugs. Yet, it seems like the microdoses people are taking as part of this fad are a small fraction of even the lowest doses that the drug companies already tested carefully last decade.<\/p>\n
