VIAL CONCENTRATIONS
Sometimes your medication may be printed as a dose PER ML instead of your dose PER 0.5ML. For instance, the 2.5mg dose may be written on your vial as 2.5mg/0.5ml OR 5mg/ml. These are the EXACT same concentrations, just expressed differently. Another example is if your 15mg dose is written as 30mg/ml instead of 15mg/0.5ml. These are both the exact same concentration, only printed a little differently on your vial. Just remember to ALWAYS INJECT 50 units (0.5ml).
DOSING
The standard dose with these vials is always 50units (0.5ml) SC once a week, no matter the dose. The higher the dose, the higher the concentration of medication in those 50 units.
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 for 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.
***AGAIN, YOU WILL ALWAYS INJECT 50 UNITS NO MATTER WHAT DOSE OF TZ YOU ARE ON.***
