Tirzapatide Dosage Schedule

Follow the prescribed dosage schedule included with your medication. Typically, you will start with a lower dose and gradually increase it over several weeks. A common dosage plan is:

Start-Up Phase

  • Week 1-4: 2.5 mg once weekly
  • Week 5-8: 5.0 mg once weekly
  • Week 9-12: 7.5 mg once weekly (most patients continue at this dosage level)

High Dose Phase

  • Week 13-16: 10.0 mg once weekly
  • Week 17-20: 12.5 mg once weekly
  • Week 21 and after: 15.0 mg once weekly

Each individual weight loss program is personalized and you should follow the specific instructions included with your medication.
