Starting Tirzepatide
I will be receiving my first vial of Tirzepatide sometime this week or next. I’m 5’4 220lbs. Wanting to get down to 175lbs. Avid weightlifter but have a gut I’m trying to lose.
What starting dose do I start with? I have instructions but confused about dosing. If I have 2ml bac sterile water with 10mg compound. Wouldn’t 1ml equal 5mg, so 2.5mg would equal .5ML on the syringe?
Instructions I was given below. Do I follow this?
Add:
2ml Bac / Sterile Water
Every 5units on 1ml insulin
syringe will = 250mcg
Weeks 1-4
Once a week 5 units = 250mcg
Weeks 4-8
Once a week 10units =500mcg
Weeks 8-12
Once a week 20units = 1mg
