Mounjaro

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is administered once weekly as a subcutaneous injection. The dosing generally starts at a lower dose to allow the body to adjust and help minimize side effects. Here’s a typical dosing schedule for weight loss:

Starting Dose: The usual starting dose is 2.5 mg once a week. This is primarily to help reduce gastrointestinal side effects.

Dose Increase: After four weeks, the dose may be increased to 5 mg once weekly.

Further Increases: Depending on tolerance and desired weight loss results, the dose may be gradually increased every four weeks, with available doses at 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and finally up to 15 mg per week.

Maximum Dose: 15 mg per week is the maximum recommended dose.

Mounjaro is a weekly self-injectable pen used for weight loss. It contains tirzepatide which works by regulating blood sugar and energy balance levels, helping to reduce appetite and prevent cravings.
