Weight loss at 15 mg

In the main trial of tirzepatide for weight loss (SURMOUNT-1), adults who stayed on 15 mg for 72 weeks, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and more activity, lost an average of 20.9% of their body weight. Results vary from person to person, and many people reach their goal on a lower dose than the highest.

Side effects at this stage

Stomach side effects are most common in the weeks after a dose increase. In SURMOUNT-1, about 31% of people on 15 mg had nausea at some point, compared with about 10% on placebo. Most cases were mild to moderate and eased with time.

  • Eat smaller meals and stop when you feel full.
  • Choose plain, protein-rich food and drink plenty of fluids.
  • Tell your doctor if vomiting or diarrhoea doesn't settle, or you can't keep fluids down.
  • Get urgent help for severe stomach pain that spreads to your back, which can be a sign of pancreatitis.

Missed a dose?

If it's been 4 days (96 hours) or less since you missed it, take it as soon as you remember. If it's been more than 4 days, skip it and take the next one on your usual day. Never take two doses within 3 days of each other. Our missed-dose checker works it out for you.

Storing your pen

Keep unopened pens in the fridge (2°C to 8°C), never in the freezer. Once you've started a pen, it can be kept at up to 30°C for up to 30 days, then thrown away even if a dose is left. In an Indian summer, keep it in the fridge or a cool bag rather than in a car or bag in the sun.

Getting Mounjaro 15 mg safely

  • Buy only with a prescription, from a licensed pharmacy. Never from social media sellers, gyms or salons.
  • Check the pack is sealed, the batch number and expiry date are printed clearly, and the price is not far below MRP.
  • Pens should arrive cold, in insulated packaging.
  • If anything looks wrong, don't inject it. Show it to your pharmacist or doctor.
At Lean Life an advisor answers your questions first, free. If you go ahead, a Lean Life doctor assesses you, decides whether tirzepatide is right for you, sets your dose and reviews you regularly with InBody scans and a dietitian. We don't sell medicines online.
