I've been taking Maunza for 8 weeks, and the hospital says there is no need to increase the dosage. I'd like to hear from those who have increased their dose.

It has been 8 weeks since I started taking Maunza... It has already been a month since I increased the dosage to 5mg after taking 2.5mg for a month, so I went to the hospital with a pounding heart to have blood tests and various other tests done again.

 

Just when I was feeling somewhat proud of my slightly healthier body, thinking, "This is good enough," I consulted with the doctor with a pounding heart—I heard that this is usually when the dosage of Mountza is increased...

 

How are you doing these days?

 

I answered the question honestly and told them about various things. I mentioned that thanks to that, my food intake had decreased and I had lost weight, so I felt healthier. I subtly hinted that it was good to feel healthier as my weight, which used to be over 90 kg, naturally dropped to the low 80 kg range.

 

How is your food intake these days?

 

I did tell the question that I can't eat much yet... but then they said they would give me 5mg again.

When I mentioned that I thought the dosage would be increased a bit, the doctor said it didn't seem like the right time to raise it yet and suggested we monitor the situation again next month.

 

There are some parts where I wanted to gain weight but couldn't... Compared to the beginning, it seems like I'm losing less weight, so I became a little curious about the criteria for weight gain. Even when I asked the hospital nurse, she just told me it varies from person to person... I'm curious to know what it was like for those who have successfully gained weight. Why is that?

    말해뭐해
    마운자로를 8주째 맞으며 충분한 효과를 보고 있다면 의사선생님 판단처럼 굳이 무리해서 용량을 올리지 않고 현재 상태를 유지하는 경우가 많습니다.
    식사량이 여전히 적고 감량 효과가 이어지고 있다면 다음 달까지 추이를 지켜보며 안전하게 관리하는 것이 좋습니다.

    지금도 식사량이 충분히 줄어 있고 5mg에서 체중이 잘 내려가면서 검사 수치도 괜찮다면 굳이 마운자로 증량을 서두르지 않는 경우가 많더라고요.  
    초반보다 감량 속도가 느려지는 건 흔한 편이라 체중 변화뿐 아니라 속울렁임이나 변비 같은 부작용과 식사 가능량을 같이 보고 다음 진료 때 한 달 추이를 다시 확인해보시면 좋겠어요.
