Mounjaro weekly weight loss injection is supplied in a box of 4 self inject able pens enough for a month. Each pen is used for a single injection once a week on the same day of the week. Doses start at 2.5 mg and increase in 2.5 mg increments. Weight loss starts after taking the 5 mg pen for several weeks. It gradually increases as doses increase by 2.5 mg per month. Greatest weight loss is seen at 15 mg weekly. Injections are taken at the same day of the week, usually Saturday morning. Some patients take it at bedtime to lessen nausea. The reason for Saturday morning is that most people eat more on the weekends and the medication is more effective early in the week.
