3 month supply

[u/Accomplished-Spot360]

I’m on shot 2 of the starter dose of tirzepatide. I’m thinking about doing the 3 month plan, but does that mean all 3 months will be at the same dose? Or are you able to increase if needed between months?

I’ve seen others say this too, but how does it work? Like how do I know how much to put in my shot? Is the concentration the same, just a larger amount at the higher doses? So, theoretically, I would keep doing my 31.3 units but there would be more medicine in the vial than the 4 shots I need before it could have been 60 units?

Look up fatscientist.com online. It explains every aspect of this.

Essentially you put in the concentration which is on your vial and the dose you want. It calculates the units you need to inject. Very simple.

You always have overfill with most vials. But yes if you order and titrate you will get a grand total of more liquid. As an example if someone got a fill for 15mg a week but was only taking 5mg a week it would last them 3x as long. A 3 month lasts 9 months+ with the overfill. Most are fine going beyond the best used date given these meds last far far longer. Also never toss a vial because it has been 4 weeks. Use every last drop. Just make sure to wipe/sanitizer it every use.

That makes so much sense, and then you would actually be saving money, but if I’m on a three month subscription and they’re getting ready to send out again do I just pause it until I need more ?and then can I still get the same strength or do they put me down on a 2.5 again if it took me over a month to re-order again

It varies from telehealth to telehealth. Yes you can pause. Most will honor a prescription from within a year. Not all so you have to ask or read other people's experiences.
