After the initial prescription, please follow the dosing schedule below.
If you wish to increase your Mounjaro® dose, it is important to follow the recommended plan. If you are currently taking 2.5 mg, the dose must first be increased to 5 mg before moving up to 7.5 mg.
Prescribing a higher dose than the next one in the plan is not permitted. A direct jump from 2.5 mg to 7.5 mg is not possible. Only if you provide proof of an alternative treatment can you receive a higher dose.
The plan helps your body gradually get used to the medication. Small increases reduce side effects and give your body time to adjust. Skipping steps can lead to stronger side effects.
