How is Semaglutide Dosed?

Semaglutide is injected once a week, on the same day each week. It can be given at any time of day, without regard to meals. You’ll typically start with a low semaglutide dose and work your way up every 4 weeks until reaching 2.4 mg once weekly — the target maintenance dose. But if you can’t tolerate the 2.4 mg dose, you may be instructed to inject 1.7 mg weekly as your maintenance dose.

This semaglutide dosing schedule is meant to help manage potential side effects. If you cannot tolerate semaglutide, your prescriber may lower your dose or have you stop taking it.

Treatment session needs vary from client to client. A consultation with a clinician will give you a better idea of how many treatment sessions you will need to achieve your desired results.

 

How is Tirzepatide Dosed?

Tirzepatide is administered subcutaneously once a week, usually starting at a dose of 2.5 mg and potentially increasing up to a maximum of 15 mg. Subcutaneous administration involves injecting the medication into the layer of tissue directly beneath the skin, allowing for gradual absorption into the bloodstream. These injections are typically given at an angle into fatty areas of the body, such as the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms. Brand name medications like Zepbound and Mounjaro are available in convenient pre-measured auto-injector pens, making them user-friendly.

Most patients maintain therapeutic dosages of 5 or 7.5 mg weekly, though higher concentrations are also available. An initial dosing schedule establishes the titration protocol and achieves the maintenance dosage.

 

Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide

Recent studies suggest that tirzepatide outperforms semaglutide in several metrics. The dual mechanism of action of tirzepatide, targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, may make it a more promising option for individuals needing weight management alongside glucose control.

For instance, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that tirzepatide at all doses was not only noninferior but also superior to semaglutide. The study reported greater reductions in body weight with tirzepatide compared to semaglutide. Although further research is needed, tirzepatide’s effectiveness appears promising.

The side effect profiles of both medications are generally similar, with the most frequent adverse events being gastrointestinal-related. However, tirzepatide may have a higher incidence of severe side effects at higher doses compared to semaglutide.

Ultimately, the choice between the two medications may depend on individual patient response and personal preference. (Take a look at this study in the New England Journal of Medicine)

 

Always consult with your physician or clinician

Before starting any type of treatment, always consult a trained medical professional. Certain treatments, medications, or therapies may carry risks or interact with existing health conditions or medications. Consulting with a medical professional ensures that the chosen treatment is safe and appropriate for you.

Metabolic health is not one-size-fits-all. A reputable company and its staff can tailor treatment plans to your unique needs, taking into account your individual medical profile and history.
