How often to take Mounjaro
Take Mounjaro once a week—on the same day each week.
You can take it at any time of the day.
Choose a day that works for you and try to stay consistent.
Changing your dosing day
If your routine changes and you need to switch your weekly dose day, make sure:
There are at least 3 days (72 hours) between doses.
Once you switch to a new day, continue weekly from that point.
If you set reminders on your phone, remember to update them.
If you miss a dose
If you miss a dose of Mounjaro:
Take the missed dose as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours).
If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose.
Do not take 2 doses of Mounjaro within 3 days of each other.
Simply resume your regular schedule on your next usual dosing day.
About your Mounjaro pen
Mounjaro comes as a single-dose pen.
It requires no mixing, and you do not need to see or handle the needle.
Always read the Instructions for Use included with your pen.
Your Mounjaro starting dose
If you have been prescribed once-weekly Mounjaro, you will start with:
2.5 mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks.
After 4 weeks, your dose increases to 5 mg.
These starting doses help your body adjust gradually.
What happens after the first 8 weeks?
At your check-up, let your prescriber know how you are doing on the 2.5 mg and 5 mg doses.
Once you reach 5 mg, you may stay on that dose for longer than 4 weeks.
Your prescriber will decide whether you should continue at 5 mg or increase further based on your progress.
