What is the recommended dosage for Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide), used for improving blood glucose control in adults with type 2 diabetes, typically starts at a low dose and increases gradually to minimize gastrointestinal side effects. The starting dose is usually 2.5 mg once weekly for four weeks, then increasing to 5 mg once weekly. Subsequent increases to 7.5 mg and then to the maximum dose of 15 mg once weekly may occur based on the patient's response and tolerance. However, these dosages can vary depending on individual circumstances and medical advice, so it is crucial for patients to follow the dosage regimen prescribed by their healthcare provider. Regular monitoring and consultation with their healthcare provider will ensure safe and effective use of Mounjaro.
