Reconstitution (Mixing)
Super quick mix-and-go:
Add 6.0 mL bacteriostatic water
Final strength: 5 mg per mL
On a U-100 insulin syringe:
1 unit = 0.01 mL = 50 mcg
After mixing, store in the fridge and use within 28 days.
Storage basics:
Powder (before mixing): Freeze at −20 °C
Mixed solution: Refrigerate 2–8 °C (don’t freeze!)
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Weekly Dosing Schedule
Phase | Weekly Dose | Syringe Units | Volume |
Weeks 1–4 | 2.5 mg | 50 units | 0.50 mL |
Weeks 5–8 | 5 mg | 100 units | 1.00 mL |
Weeks 9–12 | 7.5 mg | 150 units | 1.50 mL* |
Week 13+ (Maintenance) | 10 mg | 200 units | 2.00 mL* |
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.

Protocol Overview
Goal: Better blood sugar, appetite control, and weight management
Frequency: Once weekly, same day each week
Titration: Increase dose every 4 weeks
Range: 2.5 mg → 5 mg → 7.5 mg → 10+ mg
Reconstitution: 6.0 mL per vial
Storage: Frozen before mixing, refrigerated after
Dosing Protocol
Start: 2.5 mg weekly × 4 weeks
Increase: Move up by 2.5 mg every 4 weeks
Maintenance: 5–10 mg weekly depending on tolerance + goals
Timing: Any time of day, with or without food
Injection sites: Rotate (abdomen, thigh, upper arm)
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.
