Starting dose and when to increase

[LennyBalls]

Hi, have just taken my first dose of 0.6. Is they right ? I thought starting was 2.5 ?

Do I stay on this dose for a month?

@LennyBalls are you taking Mounjaro?

The dose volume in ml of a Mounjaro pen is 0.6ml. The concentration of medication in the starting dose is 2.5mg. So in a pen labelled 2.5mg, each dose is 0.6ml of liquid which contains 2.5mg of medication.

Your prescriber should have given you all the information about the dosage schedule or it should at least be on their website. I think it's also in the patient information leaflet that was in the box with the medication.

The usual schedule is 4 weeks on each dose level.

Oh thank you so much.
