How Mounjaro's Dose Progression Works
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist supplied as a once-weekly injectable medicine. According to the electronic Medicines Compendium, treatment is typically started at a low dose — commonly 2.5 mg — and increased gradually over a period of weeks, in steps your prescriber oversees, to manage tolerability and find the right level for you.
The dose strengths available generally range from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg. Not everyone will progress through every step, and not everyone will reach the highest dose — the goal is to find the dose that works for you, which may or may not be the maximum.
What makes a dose a 'maintenance' dose?
Once titration is complete and your prescriber is satisfied with how you are responding, the intention shifts from increasing the dose to staying at a stable level. That stable level is commonly referred to as the maintenance dose. It is a prescriber-led decision, not a self-managed one — any adjustment, including settling on a maintenance level, should always be discussed with the person who prescribed your treatment.
What about a maintenance dose for Wegovy?
The concept of a maintenance dose applies in much the same way to Wegovy (semaglutide), which is also titrated upward from a starting dose under prescriber guidance before settling at a stable long-term level. If you are on Wegovy, the same principle holds: your prescriber determines the right maintenance dose for you individually.
For more detail on how specific dose levels are typically structured, see our pages on the typical maintenance dose levels for Mounjaro and what reaching your Mounjaro maintenance dose involves.

Tracking Your Dose Journey with GLP Trackr
Keeping an accurate record of every dose you take is one of the most practical things you can do during titration and once you reach a maintenance level — and this is where GLP Trackr's dose logging feature is most useful. Each time you inject, you can log the dose strength, date, and time, building a clear history of your progression that is easy to review and easy to bring to a prescriber appointment.
The app also includes dose reminders, so your weekly injection stays on schedule whether you are mid-titration or settled at a maintenance dose. Consistency matters at every stage, and a simple prompt can make a real difference.
If a dose is ever missed or a question comes up about your schedule, the right step is to note it and raise it with your prescriber — not to adjust things independently. You can log a missed dose in the app to make sure the conversation with your healthcare professional is as clear as possible. Our page on managing your Mounjaro maintenance dose covers this topic in more practical detail, and you can find broader guidance on Mounjaro dosing in our Mounjaro dosing hub.
Any decision about your dose — including when or whether you have reached a maintenance level — should always be made with your prescriber, never on your own. If you have questions about how your dose is progressing or whether a change is right for you, your prescriber or doctor is the right person to ask.

Frequently asked questions.
A maintenance dose of Mounjaro is the stable dose you remain on long-term after completing titration. It is the lowest dose your prescriber determines is effective for you individually — it is not a fixed number and is always decided with your prescriber, not self-managed.
Your prescriber decides your maintenance dose based on how you respond to and tolerate the medicine during titration. It is an individual decision made in the context of your full medical history and treatment goals, not a standard figure that applies to everyone.
Yes. Like Mounjaro, Wegovy (semaglutide) involves a gradual dose increase under prescriber supervision before settling at a stable maintenance level. The right maintenance dose for Wegovy is also an individual decision made with your prescriber.
If you miss a dose, log it and discuss it with your prescriber or doctor — do not adjust your schedule independently. Your prescriber can advise on the right next step based on your individual circumstances and the guidance in your medicine's patient information leaflet.
GLP Trackr lets you log each weekly injection — including dose strength, date, and time — and set reminders so you never miss a dose. This creates a clear record of your full dose history that is easy to review or share with your prescriber.
