If you're switching from Wegovy (semaglutide) to Mounjaro (tirzepatide) or vice versa, you must start at the lowest dose of the new medication.
Why Do You Need to Start at the Lowest Dose?
✔ Different Medications, Different Strengths – Mounjaro and Wegovy affect the body in different ways. Starting low helps your body adjust safely.
✔ Reducing Side Effects – Both medications can cause nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort. A lower starting dose helps prevent these effects.
✔ Avoiding Overdosing – The dosages of Wegovy and Mounjaro are not equivalent, so taking the same strength in a new medication could be too much for your body.
What Dose Will You Start With?
📌 Switching from Wegovy to Mounjaro? → Start at Mounjaro 2.5mg, even if you were on a higher dose of Wegovy.
📌 Switching from Mounjaro to Wegovy? → Start at Wegovy 0.25mg, no matter what Mounjaro dose you were on before.
After starting at the lowest dose, you will gradually increase over time as your body adjusts.
What Should You Do Before Switching?
✔ Speak to our Prescriber – They will confirm the safest way to switch based on your medical history.
✔ Follow the Dosing Plan – Even if you were on a high dose of your previous medication, you must start low on the new one.
✔ Monitor for Side Effects – If you feel unwell, reach out to us.
