Mounjaro
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a weekly weight-loss injection designed to help adults manage obesity under clinical supervision.
Each Mounjaro KwikPen provides four doses — a full 4-week supply — and patients gradually increase their dose over time for the best results.
Understanding when and how to move up in dose is key to success. This guide, written by a UK pharmacist, explains everything you need to know about Mounjaro titration.
How Mounjaro Dosing Works
Mounjaro activates the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, helping control appetite, blood-sugar levels, and digestion speed.
To allow your body to adjust and reduce side effects, dosing starts low and increases step-by-step over several months.
Mounjaro Dose Schedule (Typical UK Plan)
| Stage | Dose | Duration | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starter Dose | 2.5 mg | Weeks 1–4 | Helps your body adjust. Weight loss begins gradually. |
| Step 1 | 5 mg | Weeks 5–8 | Appetite suppression increases. |
| Step 2 | 7.5 mg | Weeks 9–12 | For patients who tolerate 5 mg well. |
| Step 3 | 10 mg | Weeks 13–16 | Continued dose escalation if needed. |
| Step 4 | 12.5 mg | Weeks 17–20 | Maintenance phase begins for most. |
| Step 5 (Max) | 15 mg | Week 21+ | Maximum strength for long-term stability. |
Your prescriber may adjust your schedule depending on your response and side effects.
When to Increase Your Mounjaro Dose
- After at least 4 weeks at your current level.
- When side effects like nausea or stomach upset have settled.
- If your prescriber advises that your body has adapted well.
Never increase your dose early — this can lead to unnecessary side effects and won’t speed up results.
How to Know If Your Mounjaro Dose Is Working
You may notice:
- Feeling fuller faster during meals
- Reduced cravings between meals
- Steady weekly weight loss (typically 0.5–1.5 kg per week)
If appetite returns or progress slows after several weeks, your prescriber may move you to the next dose stage.
