Many patients find that Trimi's specialized physicians identify optimization opportunities that improve their treatment experience, including refined side effect management and more individualized dose titration.
Transition Tip
Start the Trimi process with at least 2 weeks of MedVi supply remaining. This ensures comfortable overlap and eliminates any treatment gap risk.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from MedVi without a treatment gap?

Will I lose progress switching from AI to physician-led care?
No. You are continuing the same compounded GLP-1 medication. Trimi's specialized physicians may actually identify optimization opportunities that enhance your progress.
Will Trimi continue my MedVi dosage?
In most cases, yes. Trimi providers independently evaluate your treatment history and typically continue effective dosing. They may also recommend adjustments based on their metabolic health expertise.
How much will I save switching?
Patients on MedVi premium plans ($249-$349/mo) switching to Trimi ($99/mo) save $100-$200/mo, translating to $1,200-$2,400+ annually.
Should I cancel MedVi before starting Trimi?
No. Complete Trimi's evaluation and confirm medication shipment first. Cancel MedVi only after your new supply is secured.
