Mounjaro Dosage Schedule: Week-by-Week Guide
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) follows a step-up dosing protocol designed to gradually acclimatise your body to the medication and keep side effects manageable. Below is the standard schedule used in clinical practice, though your prescriber may adjust this based on how you respond.
| Weeks | Dose | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 2.5 mg | Starting dose — focus on tolerability, not weight loss |
| Weeks 5–8 | 5 mg | First maintenance dose; significant appetite reduction typically begins here |
| Weeks 9–12 | 7.5 mg | Optional increase if 5 mg is well tolerated |
| Weeks 13–16 | 10 mg | Continue step-up if prescribed |
| Weeks 17–20 | 12.5 mg | Higher dose tier — prescriber-directed only |
| Week 21+ | 15 mg | Maximum approved dose |
Important: Not everyone will progress through every dose tier. Your prescriber determines your individual schedule based on your response, tolerability, and treatment goals. Never increase your dose without medical guidance.
Dose increases are typically made every four weeks at a minimum. If side effects are significant at any stage, your prescriber may recommend staying at the current dose for longer before increasing. The goal is to find the lowest effective dose that supports your health outcomes.
Mounjaro Click Chart Explained
A common question among people switching from other injectable medications is how many "clicks" each Mounjaro pen delivers. The answer: Mounjaro pens are single-dose — there are no clicks to count.
Unlike some injectable pens (such as certain insulin devices) that require you to dial or click to set a dose, each Mounjaro KwikPen comes pre-filled with a single dose. You simply remove the cap, place the pen against your skin, and press the button until the injection is complete. The pen then locks automatically. There is no click-counting, no dose dialling, and no partial doses. Each pen is discarded after a single use.
If you have seen references to "Mounjaro click charts" online, these likely originate from confusion with other injectable GLP-1 medications. For Mounjaro, your dose is entirely determined by which pen strength your prescriber has selected for you.
How to Track Your Full Mounjaro Progress Digitally
A paper dose log is excellent for tracking the clinical side of your Mounjaro journey — injection dates, dose levels, side effects. But weight loss on a GLP-1 medication is only part of the story. Many people on Mounjaro report significant changes to their face and body composition over weeks and months, which a number on a scale simply cannot capture.
This is where SKŌR comes in. Using your phone's camera, SKŌR scores your visual transformation across four key dimensions:
Combine your weekly dose log with monthly SKŌR photos to build a complete picture of your transformation — one your prescriber, your confidence, and your long-term health will all benefit from.
Frequently Asked Questions
What dose of Mounjaro should I start on?
Most people begin Mounjaro at 2.5 mg once weekly for the first four weeks. This starting dose is primarily intended to help your body adjust to the medication and minimise gastrointestinal side effects — significant weight loss at this stage is not the main goal. Your prescriber will advise when and whether to increase beyond this point based on your tolerability and individual treatment plan.
How often do I inject Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is injected subcutaneously once per week. Ideally, you should inject on the same day each week to maintain consistent medication levels. It can be administered at any time of day, with or without food. If you miss a dose, inject it as soon as you remember — as long as your next scheduled dose is at least three days away. If it is closer than that, skip the missed dose and resume your normal schedule.
Where should I inject Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is injected into subcutaneous fat in one of three areas: the abdomen (avoiding the area around the navel), the front of the thigh, or the upper arm. Rotate your injection site each week to prevent skin irritation and localised fat changes (lipodystrophy). For example: abdomen one week, thigh the next, upper arm the week after. Avoid injecting into skin that is bruised, tender, scarred, or irritated.
What are common Mounjaro side effects?
The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation, decreased appetite, indigestion, and injection site reactions such as redness or mild bruising. These are typically most pronounced when starting treatment or after a dose increase, and tend to ease within a few weeks. Eating smaller, plainer meals and staying well hydrated can help manage gastrointestinal symptoms. Always contact your prescriber if side effects are severe, persistent, or concerning.
How do I track Mounjaro progress?
Use a weekly injection log (like this tracker) to record your dose, injection site, any side effects, and your weight. For visual transformation tracking — including facial slimming, body contour changes, and skin quality — the SKŌR app provides objective, AI-powered scores from your phone camera so you can see exactly how your appearance is changing over time, beyond what the scales tell you.
Can I switch Mounjaro doses?
Dose changes should only be made under the guidance of your prescriber. The standard schedule increases in 2.5 mg increments every four weeks, but your timeline may differ depending on your tolerability and progress. It is also possible to stay at a lower dose long-term if it is effective and well-tolerated. Never self-adjust your dose — always discuss changes with your prescribing clinician.
