Taking this at face value and don’t wish to cause offence - what do you think this, your numbers don’t make sense? You need to state units - so many people confuse the mg (mass of dissolved tirzepatide) with the ml (volume of solution) and do not know what a click is. This is dangerous - none of us here recommend going off label - however if any of us choose to it should only be with a full understanding of exactly how much we are injecting. Never rush, or trust someone else anonymously online’s calculation or click chart. Myself included! Only do it if you can replicate the maths and understand. Or have someone at home who can.
Can you tell I have a bit of a bee in my bonnet about people meddling with the dozes when they don’t understand the maths so I always come on and explain! 🙂
The calculation is always exactly the same:
The dose that you actully take (either clicks or ml) divided by normal amount (60 or 0.6) then multiply by dose strength of pen in mg.
example 1. To get 3.75mg from a 5mg pen.
45clicks/ 60clicks x 5mg = 3.75 mg
or 0.45ml/0.6ml x 5mg =3.75mg
example 2: to get 10mg from a 7.5mg pen
80/60clicks x 7.5mg =10 mg
or 0.8ml/0.6ml x 7.5 = 10mg
I hope this makes sense, try it out for the pen you have - I think you said below you have a 7.5mg at the moment. This means 0.6ml or 60 clicks of that pen contains 7.5mg.
10clicks = 10/607.5=1.25mg
20clicks= 20/607.5=2.5mg
25clicks=25/607.5=3.125mg
45clicks=45/607.5=5.625mg
all of this is just ratios and works same with the volume instead of clicks if using a syringe to measure in ml.
0.1ml = 0.1/0.67.5=1.25mg
0.2ml = 0.3/0.67.5=3.75mg
0.25ml = 0.25/0.67.5=3.125mg
0.45ml = 0.45/0.67.5=5.625mg
it all hinges around 0.6ml or 60clicks so sense check your calculation.
If you take less than 0.6 or 60 from a pen you are getting less than the stated dose by the proportion of 0.6 or 60 you take.
and if you take more than 0.6 or 60 that’s where you need to be very careful as you are taking more than the stated dose of that pen proportionally. This gets really important above 7.5mg as you can get enough out of the extra (hate the term golden) dose to go higher than the next normal step up which is too big a jump. Eg 0.8ml out of a 10mg pen is
0.8/0.6*10=13.333mg (next step up should not be above 12.5) but some people always take as much as they can get out the pen at the end - which was ok with eg a 2.5 pen as wasn’t more than 5mg.
please take care if doing anything other than the instructions, don’t rush and record what you have taken.
