Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is taken as a once-weekly injection. The typical dosing progression starts at 2.5 mg once weekly for about 4 weeks, then usually increases to 5 mg once weekly, with possible titration upward in 2.5 mg increments every month as guided by a healthcare professional, up to a common maintenance range that can include 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg weekly depending on response and tolerability. The key is to inject on the same day each week whenever possible, and to maintain at least a 3-day (72-hour) interval if a dose is missed or need arises to adjust timing. Do not exceed the prescribed weekly dose, and always follow a clinician’s instructions for titration and monitoring for side effects. If you’re considering this medication, consult your healthcare provider for a personalized plan and any safety considerations based on medical history and current treatments.
