DOSING
The vial concentration for the first 2 doses is 2.5mg/5mg/ml. This means there is 2.5mg of sema and 5mg of glycine in each ml (100 units).
0.25mg dose = 10 units (0.1ml)
0.5mg dose = 20 units (0.2ml)
The vial concentration for the first 3 higher doses is 5mg/5mg/ml. This means there is 5mg of sema and 5mg of glycine in each ml (100 units).
1mg dose = 20 units (0.2ml)
1.75mg dose = 35 units (0.35ml)
2.5mg dose = 50 units (0.5ml)
New patients not previously on an injectable weight loss medication will start at the 0.25mg dose for the first 4 weeks. You may then move up to the 0.5mg dose the next 4-weeks, then 1mg for 4 weeks, etc. If you are doing well on a certain dose, you do not have to move up until you are read. Most people move up once their weight loss stalls and side effects have resolved.
Your vial should be used for 4-5 doses only, and you must order the dose you plan to use.
***As long as you stay on a particular dose for at least 4 weeks, you are welcome to move up after that. For instance, patients on the 0.25 mg dose may decide to remain on that dose after they complete the first 4 weeks.
**If you are having a lot of side effects with a particular dose, I would recommend not moving up until the side effects lessen.
***Although many people like to stick to the same pharmacy when they reorder, you may order from any pharmacy available for your state. However, please note that the formulations are different across pharmacies, and the units you use for a particular dose may change drastically with a new pharmacy. Please pay careful attention to your vial and refer here for correct dosing.
