Can the 5 mg dose of Mounjaro be divided into smaller parts and what is the maximum dose of this medicine?

The 5 mg dose of Mounjaro should not be divided into smaller parts because it is available in pre-made pens with a specific dose to be given once a week. Administering lower doses would require specialized preparation, which should only be carried out under medical supervision.

The initial dose is 2.5 mg once a week, after four weeks it is increased to 5 mg. If necessary, the dose may be increased in 2.5 mg increments up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly. The maximum dose of 15 mg is the highest recommended dose, which should not be exceeded due to the risk of side effects.

The preparation should be used in combination with a proper diet and physical exercise. The diet should be designed to provide all the necessary nutrients. It may be helpful to use the help of a qualified dietitian in developing a diet. If you are unable to consult in person, I encourage you to use the teleconsultation, e.g. via the Gdziepolek.pl portal:
