Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Dosing Guide: How to Adjust Your Doses
Mounjaro, which contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, is an injectable medication that helps with weight loss by increasing feelings of fullness. The dosing of Mounjaro is gradual, beginning with a low dose and increasing to a maintenance dose as your body adjusts. Below is a guide to understanding the different Mounjaro doses and when to change them based on your treatment plan.
1. Starting Dose (2.5 mg)
- Purpose: The initial dose of 2.5 mg is meant to help your body get used to the medication. This is a lower dose to minimize side effects while your body adjusts.
- Duration: Typically, you will stay on this dose for about 4 weeks.
2. Dose Increase (5 mg)
- When to Increase: After 4 weeks at 2.5 mg, your doctor will likely recommend increasing the dose to 5 mg.
- Purpose: This increase is intended to enhance the medication's effectiveness while still allowing your body to adjust gradually.
- Duration: You will typically remain on the 5 mg dose for another 4 weeks.
3. Further Dose Adjustments (7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg)
- When to Increase:
- After 4 weeks on 5 mg, you may increase to 7.5 mg.
- After 4 weeks on 7.5 mg, the dose may be increased to 10 mg.
- After 4 weeks on 10 mg, the dose may increase to 12.5 mg.
- After 4 weeks on 12.5 mg, the final increase to 15 mg may be made.
- Purpose: Each increase aims to optimize the weight loss effects by gradually increasing the dose to the most effective level for your body.
- Maintenance Dose: 15 mg is generally the maximum maintenance dose for most patients. Your doctor will determine whether this is necessary or if a lower dose is sufficient.
4. Monitoring and Side Effects
- Monitoring: Throughout the dosing schedule, your doctor will monitor your progress and any side effects you may experience. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, which often subside as your body adjusts to the medication.
- When to Pause or Adjust: If side effects are significant, your doctor may advise you to pause at a certain dose or delay further increases to allow your body more time to adjust.
5. Long-Term Use
- Duration on Maintenance Dose: Once you reach the 15 mg dose (or the highest dose that is effective for you), you will stay on this dose long-term unless adjustments are needed due to side effects or effectiveness.
- Ongoing Review: Regular check-ins with your healthcare provider will ensure the medication continues to be effective and safe for your use.
Key Takeaways
- Follow a Structured Schedule: Start with the 2.5 mg dose and increase every 4 weeks, based on your doctor’s guidance.
- Tailor to Your Body's Response: Adjustments may be needed depending on how well you tolerate the medication and your weight loss progress.
- Stay in Communication with Your Doctor: Regular monitoring is essential to ensure the best outcomes and manage any side effects.
By following this dosing schedule and working closely with your healthcare provider, you can maximize the benefits of Mounjaro while minimizing potential risks.
What is the Starting Dose of Mounjaro?
The starting dose of Mounjaro is 2.5 mg, administered once a week for 4 weeks. This initial dose remains the same whether you are beginning treatment for the first time, resuming after a break, or transitioning from another weight loss injection. Since each Mounjaro pen contains four doses, one pen will last you through the first four weeks of treatment.
You should only increase your dose if advised by your doctor or when it’s time for your next scheduled dose increase. It’s important not to raise the dose faster than every 4 weeks or skip doses, as doing so can heighten the risk of side effects and may jeopardize your health.
What is Titration?
Titration is the process of gradually increasing medication doses over time, which can span several days, weeks, or even months. Mounjaro follows a titration schedule to allow your body to adjust to the treatment, minimizing the likelihood of side effects.
Our Pharmacist are available to monitor how the medication is affecting you, ensuring you achieve the best results from your weight loss treatment with as little discomfort as possible.
Mounjaro FAQs
Do Mounjaro Pens Expire?
Yes, Mounjaro pens do expire. You can find the expiry date on both the pen label and the carton. Look for the date followed by the letters ‘EXP.’ This date refers to the last day of the specified month. It's important not to use your Mounjaro pens after they have expired.
How Should I Store My Pens?
Mounjaro pens should be stored in the refrigerator at a temperature between 2 °C and 8 °C. Do not freeze them. If the medication inside the pen becomes frozen, it should not be used, even if thawed. Alternatively, you can store the pen outside of the refrigerator, as long as the temperature does not exceed 30 °C and it is kept away from direct sunlight. In this case, the pen is usable for up to 30 days, after which it should be discarded.
How Long Does a Mounjaro Pen Last in Storage?
When kept refrigerated at 2 °C to 8 °C, Mounjaro pens remain effective until the expiry date listed on the pen label. If stored in a cool, dark place outside the refrigerator (below 30 °C), the pen can be used for up to 30 days from the first use. After this period, the pen should be discarded.
What Should I Do with a Broken Mounjaro Pen?
If your Mounjaro pen appears broken or damaged, do not use it. Contact your pharmacist or medication supplier for further instructions. They may also be able to help you safely dispose of the pen.
When is the Best Time to Inject Mounjaro?
You can administer your Mounjaro injection at any time of the day, with or without food. The key is to ensure that you take your injection on the same day and at the same time each week. Choose a time that fits well with your routine and is easy for you to remember each week.
What Should I Do If I’m Going on Holiday?
You can take your Mounjaro pen and needles with you while traveling. Make sure to avoid exposing the pen to direct sunlight or temperatures above 30 °C. Keeping the pen in its original carton can help protect it from sunlight. If you are not refrigerating it, remember that the pen is usable for up to 30 days before it needs to be discarded.
When traveling, it's advisable to keep your Mounjaro pens in your hand luggage. You may also use a cool bag or cooling device to keep the pen refrigerated, which is permitted on airplanes. For some destinations, you may need to show proof of prescription and medical insurance, so it's best to check with the embassy or a local representative before your trip.
Can I Start Mounjaro at 5 mg?
No, the initial dose of Mounjaro is always 2.5 mg once a week for the first 4 weeks. After this period, your doctor will typically increase the dose to 5 mg for another 4 weeks, at which point your progress will be reviewed.
Even if you have previously been on a higher dose of Mounjaro, your doctor will still start you at 2.5 mg per week for at least 4 weeks when you begin treatment again.
Can I Switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro?
Yes, it is possible to switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro. You should consult with your doctor to ensure a safe transition. You will need to stop taking Wegovy for 5 weeks before starting Mounjaro. The initial dose of Mounjaro will be 2.5 mg once a week.
