There's no blanket rule requiring an automatic dose change, but providers managing both medications often pay closer attention to appetite, weight trend, and overall tolerability once both are in play, and may consider adjustments if the combined appetite suppression becomes excessive or nutritionally concerning. It's more of an individualized monitoring approach than a standard protocol requiring adjustment for everyone.
