Tirzepatide Amount

The starting dose is 10 units on day one. Starting at this dose helps us minimize nausea the first week. On day 4 you will give 15 units for a total of 25 units for the week. Thereafter, you will only dose once a week on the same day of the week as your day one.  

 Week 2 we will start you on 25 units. I will give you your dose in units rather than mg because that's the number you'll see on your syringe. You will probably stay at 25 units for 3 weeks or so, depending on your individual response. 

During the course of the up titration we will change the concentration of the medication so you don't have to give such a big shot. So, because of the concentration change your maintenance dose will be just 60 units. I will send you pictures of each dose when we make a change, so you feel certain you are giving the right dose.
