Description

Start your journey toward powerful, science-backed weight loss and better metabolic health with Mounjaro 2.5 mg, the initial starting dose of tirzepatide.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why start at 2.5 mg?
A: The 2.5 mg dose is designed to help your body gradually adjust to tirzepatide, minimizing nausea and GI side effects. It is not intended for long-term use.

Q: Will I lose weight at this dose?
A: Some users may notice early weight loss from appetite suppression, but the most significant results occur at higher doses (10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg).

Q: How long do I stay on this dose?
A: Typically 4 weeks, after which most users escalate to 5 mg. Always follow your doctor’s schedule.

Q: Can I take this with other diabetes medications?
A: Yes, but you should consult your provider. Combining Mounjaro with insulin or sulfonylureas increases the risk of low blood sugar.

Q: What happens if I miss a dose?
A: If it’s been less than 4 days, take it as soon as possible. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and continue with your next scheduled dose.

Q: Is Mounjaro only for diabetes?
A: While Mounjaro is FDA-approved for treating type 2 diabetes, it’s also prescribed off-label for weight loss in adults, even those without diabetes. This means a doctor can prescribe it for weight management if they deem it appropriate based on factors like BMI and other health conditions.
