Is it okay to adjust the administration schedule for Maunzaro due to the burden of non-covered costs?

I was absolutely unable to manage my weight, so I was prescribed Mountar and am currently taking it. I can definitely feel a significant effect in suppressing my appetite. However, since it is a non-covered procedure, the fixed monthly cost is quite substantial, so it is a bit of a burden to take it long-term.

Although Maunzaro is originally supposed to be administered weekly, I am wondering if the effectiveness would significantly decrease if I gradually extended the dosing interval to 10 days or 2 weeks, given that my appetite is already somewhat under control. I am also worried that arbitrarily changing the schedule might cause my blood levels to drop, leading to an explosion of appetite or the interruption of my weight loss momentum.

Has anyone tried extending the dosing interval with Maunza? Was weight maintenance successful when adjusting the interval?

    비급여 비용 부담 때문에 주기를 조절하는 분들도 있대요.
    상담을 통해 안전하게 진행하는 게 중요해요.

    의사 상담 없이 주기를 바꾸면 효과가 떨어질 수 있어요.
    비용이 부담되시더라도 안전을 위해 전문의와 꼭 상의하세요!

    주기 잘 지켜서 용량대로 맞아줘야 효과가 있다고.. 내맘대로 줄이거나 하면 안된다고 헀어요 ㅠ
