DOSING:
New patients not previously on an injectable weight loss medication will start at the 2.5mg for the first 4 weeks. You may then move up to the 5mg dose the next 4-weeks, then 7.5mg for 4 weeks, etc. However, you do NOT have to move up in dosing until you are ready. If you are having successful weight loss on a certain dose, you do not have to move up. Also, if you are having significant side effects on a dose, you should spend another 4 weeks on your current dose before you move up. We recommend staying at the lowest dose possible and only move up to the next dose when your weight loss as stalledUnlike some pharmacies which offer 4-week packages of one dose, this pharmacy offers alternative dosing packages for patients that are comfortable at a particular dose and want to stay on that dose longer than 4 weeks. You MUST be injecting weekly to order any of these packages.

*Patients taking the higher doses on a weekly basis must order more frequently than others; therefore, the same amount of medication will not last as long as others taking smaller doses. To be consistent with patient fees, discounts may be offered for these patients. Also, to prevent the misuse of medications (such as ordering a much higher dose and then using a lower dose for a much longer time period than the vial is designed to be used for safely), there are guidelines in place to prevent this possibly unsafe misuse. These packages MUST be used as exactly as described.
To receive the discounted fees, you MUST be using these higher doses on a weekly basis. Your use will be evident by your ordering practices and you may not be allowed to order these packages with large amounts of medication if your reported dosing does not match your ordering schedule. In general, if you are using the packages correctly as directed, you should be ordering either package at least every 4-6 weeks. Also, if there are extended delays between ordering these largest two dose packages, you may be asked to start back at a lower dose to avoid risks of side effects, since you would likely have been on a much lower dose the previous 4 weeks.
Please do not order these larger packages if you are not planning to use them as prescribed, as it will not be prescribed if there are concerns of misuse. Life happens, so please explain any extended delays in ordering in the notes section.
The instructions on your vial will match the package you ordered. However, as long as you complete 4 weeks of a dose before moving up, you may adjust your dosing up and down as needed to help with side effects or weight-loss stalls. Please refer to the below chart for correct dosing for both vials.
