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 at least on your current dose before you move up. *NOTE that you must use the 15mg dose for at least 12 weeks before moving up to the 17.5mg dose
Your vial should be used for 4 doses only, so you must order the dose you plan to use. For those on maintenance, your vial would be best if used within 45 days (for 4 punctures only) and doses spread out no longer than every 10 days.
