Tirzepatide Administration Guide
Tirzepatide is a weight loss injection solution provided in the form of a single-dose injectable pen. This pen allows patients to administer the medication into their stomachs, thighs, or the back of their upper arms. Before injecting, it is important to choose an appropriate injection site and place the base of the pen flat against the skin.
To begin the injection process, the medicine needs to be unlocked. Once unlocked, you will need to hold the button for 10 seconds, and upon hearing the first click, the injection will start. After completion, a second click will indicate that the injection is finished. It is crucial to follow these steps accurately for proper administration.
For weight loss purposes, Tirzepatide typically requires weekly injections. It is recommended to consult with a diabetic doctor or healthcare professional to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency for your specific needs. They can guide you in utilizing Tirzepatide effectively for weight management and diabetes control.

How Should Tirzepatide Be Stored?
Tirzepatide should be stored in a refrigerator within the temperature range of 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). Safeguard the medication from light by keeping it in its original carton until use. In the case of single-dose pens, they can be stored at room temperature for a period of 21 days, if necessary. It is crucial to strictly adhere to the recommended storage instructions provided. Familiarize yourself with the proper storage guidelines to ensure the medication remains effective and potent.
Precautions and Contraindications
- Patients with Hepatic Impairment: No dosage adjustment is recommended for patients with hepatic impairment.
- Patients with Renal Impairment: No dosage adjustment is suggested for patients with renal impairment. Caution should be exercised in patients prone to dehydration as tirzepatide may cause gastrointestinal adverse reactions (ADRs) such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, leading to dehydration and potentially acute kidney injury.
- Pregnancy Considerations: Limited information is available on tirzepatide use in pregnant women, making it difficult to assess the risk of congenital disabilities or adverse outcomes. Poorly controlled diabetes during pregnancy poses risks to both the mother and fetus. Animal reproduction studies have shown increased incidences of external, visceral, and skeletal malformations with tirzepatide exposure, suggesting potential risks to the fetus.
- Breastfeeding Considerations: No information is available on tirzepatide in animal or human milk and its effects on the breastfed infant. Clinicians should weigh the benefits of breastfeeding, the mother’s clinical need for tirzepatide, and potential adverse impacts on the breastfed infant.

Who Should Avoid Using Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide Vs Semaglutide
- In a recent trial, different doses of tirzepatide (5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg) were compared to a 1 mg dose of semaglutide in patients with type 2 diabetes on metformin. Tirzepatide outperformed semaglutide in reducing glycated hemoglobin levels and achieving target levels recommended by diabetes associations.
- Additionally, tirzepatide resulted in greater weight loss compared to semaglutide, with the 15 mg dose showing the most significant effect. These findings highlight tirzepatide’s potential as a superior treatment option for improving glycemic control and promoting weight reduction in patients with type 2 diabetes.
