Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine, and only your doctor can decide the correct dose and schedule for you. The frequency of injections depends on your medical condition, treatment goals, and how your body responds. It is important not to plan or adjust your injections on your own; your healthcare provider will provide you with the exact monthly schedule to ensure safe and effective use.
