What is Tizaro 2.5mg/0.005ml for Weight Management?
The injection Tizaro 2.5mg/0.0025ml boasts of Tirzepatide as the active component. It is a generic version of Mounjaro and GIP receptor with 39 amino acids, a C20 fatty diacid moiety, and a modified peptide. It activates GLP-1 and GIP receptors and prolongs the half-life through albumin binding to improve first and second-phase insulin secretion. This procedure follows in a glucose-dependent manner. While reducing the glucagon levels, Tizaro 2.5 also reduces body fat and weight.
Dosage Guidelines for Tizaro 2.5 Injection
Take Tizaro 2.5mg syringe as a subcutaneous injection. Administer a 2.5mg dose (one time a week for 4 weeks) to control glycemic levels. After completing 4 weeks of dosage, you may add an extra 0.005ml weekly. In addition, you can increase the dose by 2.5mg over the current dose, but only after the completion of the current dose for 4 weeks. The maximum dosage subcutaneously in a week must not cross 15mg. Use Tizaro 2.5 with or without meals.
Also, you can start the injections at any time of the week on any day. Apply the injection subcutaneously in the upper arm, abdomen, or thigh to rotate the injection sites and avoid repeating the same. Do not mix up the syringes, so keep a note of the dosage administered every week and segregate the injections properly. Avoid overdosing to keep away the worst side effects.
Tizaro 2.5mg Missed Dose Instructions
Have you missed a dose? Then you can inject Tizaro 2.5mg at the earliest in the first 96 hours or 4 days after the missed dose. In case this time is over, skip the missed dose and take the injection on the regular day next week. If you wish to switch to another day for next week’s dose, keep an interval of 3 days or 72 hours between the two doses.
Precautions and Interactions for Pre-Filled Tizaro 2.5 Syringe
Never freeze the medicine or expose it to moisture and direct sunlight. Rather, store them in the refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. The needle cover has a latex cap. Remove it before using the pre-filled Tizaro 2.5 syringe without diluting the solution or adding any other medicine to it. Check the liquid to see if it is not discolored or contains particulate matter. Be careful not to drop the injection on any hard surface. If you are taking insulin secretagogues (sulfonylureas) or insulin, then reduce the dose, or it can lead to hypoglycemia.
Those with gallbladder stones, hypoglycemia, pancreatitis, or any serious health issue must consider taking advice from a healthcare professional about the safety of using Tizaro injections. Women on oral birth control need to take non-oral hormonal products or switch to a barrier contraceptive. This is not the case with females taking a non-oral hormonal contraceptive. If you are on warfarin, oral medicines, then monitor the treatment outcome and threshold concentrations, as Tizaro 2.5 mg may impact the gastric emptying of these medications.
Side Effects and Contraindications of Tizaro 2.5mg
