Week 13+ (Maintenance)

10 mg

200 units

Frequency: Once weekly, subcutaneous.

Reason for escalation: gradual titration helps reduce GI-related effects and aligns with clinical study structures.

*Split dosing or additional vials may be necessary. Weekly doses may be fractionated into twice-weekly administrations (e.g., 1.25 mg biweekly) to support tolerability or administration preferences.



Reconstitution Steps

Draw 6.0 mL bacteriostatic water.

Inject slowly down the vial wall (keeps foam away).

Gently roll or swirl — no shaking.

Stick a label on it (date mixed).

Refrigerate and protect from light.

Use within 28 days.

Storage Instructions

Keep it happy → keep it effective.

Before mixing:

Store frozen at −20 °C, dry & dark

After mixing:

Refrigerate 2–8 °C

Never freeze after it’s mixed

Shelf life once mixed: 28 days

Let it warm to room temp before opening to reduce moisture inside.


Important Notes

Always use a new sterile syringe.

Rotate injection sites.

If you need two injections for higher doses: two different spots.

Inject slowly, wait a few seconds before removing.

Track weekly dose + site to keep things consistent.

GI side effects (nausea, bloating) are common early — slow titration helps a lot.


How It Works

Tirzepatide hits two appetite + blood sugar pathways at once:

GLP-1: Keeps you full longer, slows digestion, lowers appetite

GIP: Boosts insulin response, supports metabolism

Together = more powerful weight-loss & blood-sugar control than GLP-1 alone.

Long half-life (~5 days) means once-weekly convenience.


Benefits & Side Effects

Common Benefits

Strong appetite control

Significant weight loss over time

Better blood sugar control (lower HbA1c)

Improved cardio-metabolic markers

Weekly dosing = easy routine


Possible Side Effects

Nausea (most common), upset stomach, diarrhea, constipation

Fatigue early on

Mild redness at injection site

Side effects usually decrease as weeks go on.


Lifestyle Tips

Pair it with smart habits for best results:

Eat balanced meals — appetite will naturally shrink

Focus on protein to protect lean muscle

Mix strength training + cardio

Stay hydrated (helps with side effects!)

Keep a regular sleep schedule

Slowly increase activity as appetite drops


Injection Technique

Clean vial + skin with alcohol.

Pinch the skin.

Insert at 45–90°.

Inject slowly, steady.

No need to aspirate.

Rotate injection sites.

Safely dispose of sharps immediately.
