Understanding Dosage and Titration
Titration Schedule — Medications like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide involve gradual dose increases over time. The 'X-X titration' on your refill (e.g., '6-6 titration') indicates the maximum dose level available in your current medication.
Units vs. Strength — Distinguish between medication strength and injection units. For example, if a vial is labeled '10 mg / 4 mL' and your prescription specifies a number of units (e.g., 56 units), fill the syringe to that unit mark.
Consult Your Provider — If unsure about dosage, how to administer medication, or if the labeling looks different from previous shipments, message your doctor through the patient portal.
Receiving and Using Your Medication
Packaging — Medication arrives discreetly packaged. Some formulations may come in boxes vs. bottles — this does not indicate a change in pharmacy or medication.
Vial Usage — Each vial is typically designed to last a specific period (e.g., one month). You'll receive the number of vials needed for your prescribed duration.
Instructions — Always refer to instructions provided with your shipment. The prescription label contains important dosing information. Contact us or your doctor if instructions are missing or unclear.
Storage — Condensation in the outer bottle upon arrival is normal and caused by ice packs during shipping. It does not affect the medication.

Additives (e.g., B12) — Some compounded formulations include additives like Vitamin B12. Discuss any concerns about additives with your doctor.
