A common approach involves gradually titrating the dose to minimize side effects while maximizing effectiveness
Off-label drug usage, which means taking a supplement or medication for any purpose other than what it was approved for, is concerningly common
Not everyone experiences these effects, and healthcare providers typically monitor treatment closely to help reduce risks and adjust care if needed
Side Effects Change in how much or how often you urinate, lower back or side pain, blood in your urine Unusual moods or behaviors, depression, thoughts of hurting yourself or others Blurred vision or any other change in vision Warnings Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding, or if you have kidney disease, pancreas problems, diabetes, digestion problems (including gastroparesis), or a history of diabetic retinopathy or depression
You can maintain results after treatment by making intentional changes before, during, and after stopping the medication
