Mounjaro Dosage Chart
Mounjaro is administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly, with dosage titrated based on patient tolerance and clinical response. Typical dosing progression is as follows:
| Dosage Strength | Usage Stage | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5 mg | Starting dose | Initiates treatment and helps the body adjust to the medication, minimizing side effects |
| 5 mg | Maintenance | Continues therapy after initial tolerance is achieved |
| 7.5 mg | Titration | For patients requiring increased glucose control or weight management support |
| 10 mg | Advanced | Considered for higher efficacy under strict medical supervision |
| 15 mg | Maximum | Used in select cases needing maximum metabolic effect, closely monitored by a physician |
Note: Most patients in Dubai begin seeing meaningful results at the 5mg dose
Mounjaro 2.5 mg Starting Dose
The 2.5 mg dose is typically prescribed to new patients beginning Mounjaro therapy. Its primary purpose is to allow gradual adaptation to the medication, reducing the risk of side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or gastrointestinal discomfort.
Key Points for 2.5 mg Starting Dose:
- Administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection
- Patients are monitored for tolerance and adverse effects
- Duration at starting dose may vary depending on patient response
- Subsequent titration to higher doses occurs only if clinically appropriate
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding injection technique, storage, and dose adjustments.
How Your Doctor Finds Your “Forever Dose”
Finding the perfect dose is a team effort between you and your doctor. They’ll listen and ask:
- “How is your appetite?”
- “Are any side effects bothering you?”
- “How are your energy levels?”
- “Are you still seeing progress?”
