What should my journey look like?

Initial Phase—
Month 1: You will receive a 1mL vial 

Start your journey with an introductory dose to gently acclimate your body to tirzepatide. By incrementally increasing your dose, it will help to decrease the potential for side effects and allow your body to adjust to the medication. 

  • Week 1-4: Inject 0.25mL (25 units) once a week = 2.5mg

Potential Biological Responses

  • Initial body adaptation to tirzepatide begins, potentially reducing hunger by increasing feelings of fullness after meals​.
  • Initial weight loss might be noticed, although this could be modest in the first month.​. 
  • Users may experience gastrointestinal side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. While not pleasant, these are common and manageable. Keep an eye on your diet, and consult a healthcare professional. 
  • If you're considering additional medication to ease nausea, we have treatments available to help ease your symptoms and ensure you remain consistent with your treatment plan.

As you progress on your treatment journey, we want to ensure that you receive the best possible care. To facilitate this, we kindly remind you to schedule your check-in appointment via our patient portal before your second month's prescription refill. Ideally you complete this after administering your third injection, but can be done as early as two weeks. This check-in is an opportunity for you to review your progress, address any concerns you may have, and ensure that your treatment plan aligns with your needs.

Simply log in to your patient portal to schedule your appointment and ensure uninterrupted care. If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us.


Month 2: You will receive a 2mL vial 

  • Week 5-8: Increase to 0.5mL (50 units) once a week = 5mg 

Potential Biological Responses

  • The adjustment phase continues with further potential reduction in hunger and gradual weight loss.
  • Side effects may start to diminish as your body becomes more accustomed to tirzepatide.

Please note that auto-billing may begin at this stage. The standard maintenance dosage is 5mg. Your physician can prescribe 5 refills to be automatically sent to you. No further action is required on your part!

However, if you believe a higher strength is necessary, you have the option to arrange a check-in with your provider to explore dosage adjustments. Just log in to your patient portal to initiate the process. 

Month 3: You will receive a 3mL vial

  • Week 9-12: Increase to 0.75mL (75 units) once a week = 7.5mg

Potential Biological Responses

  • Weight Loss Progression: The increase in dosage may lead to more pronounced weight loss as your body further adapts to tirzepatide.
  • Stabilizing Side Effects: Initial side effects should lessen in severity and frequency, with ongoing monitoring and dietary adjustments as necessary.

Maintenance Phase (Month 4) You will receive a 4mL vial

  • Maintenance Dosage: Inject 1ml (100 units) subcutaneously once a week = 10mg

Projected Biological Responses

  • Significant Weight Reduction: Participants in the trials experienced an average of 26% body weight loss over 88 weeks, suggesting the potential for significant long-term weight loss¹.
  • Sustained Fullness: The dual-action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors continues to regulate hunger and satiety effectively².
  • Holistic Health Improvements: Besides weight loss, improvements in blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and overall metabolic health are observed.

Remember, your experience is personalized and may vary as every individual's body responds differently to the medication. It's not unusual for responses to deviate from the common path. Stay patient and keep in communication with your healthcare provider.

Safety and Side Effects

Don't get frustrated if your biological responses may look a bit different than the outline above. Everybody is unique. Everybody is different. Everybody reacts to change at their own pace. Don't get discouraged—just reach out to your doctor to discuss your options, whenever you need to.

Call your primary doctor if you have side effects that concern you, or you suspect a drug allergy has occurred. If your symptoms are severe or you believe you’re experiencing side effects listed below, seek medical help immediately.
