Tirzepatide Starter Guide: Your Comprehensive Manual

Welcome to your journey with tirzepatide, an innovative medication that could change your life for the better. As you embark on this path with Reverse Medical, we're here to provide you with all the information you need to make the most of your treatment.


Below, you'll find detailed instructions on storage and dosing for your 20mg vial for this month's dose:


Storage Instructions:

  1. Keep your tirzepatide vial in its original packaging until ready for use.

  2. Store the vial in the refrigerator between 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C).

  3. Do not freeze tirzepatide. Freezing can cause damage to the medication.

  4. Protect the vial from light by storing it in its carton.

  5. Keep tirzepatide out of reach of children and pets.




Dosing Instructions for This Month's Dose:

  1. Before each dose, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.

  2. Check the expiration date on the vial. Do not use tirzepatide if it has expired.

  3. Remove the vial from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before injecting. Do not warm tirzepatide in any other way, such as by heating it in the microwave or placing it in warm water.

  4. Prepare a clean injection site on your abdomen (stomach area), thigh, or upper arm.

  5. Use a new, sterile syringe and needle for each injection.

  6. Your healthcare provider will prescribe a specific dose of tirzepatide for you. Withdraw the prescribed number of units from the vial according to their instructions.

  7. Inject tirzepatide subcutaneously (under the skin) as directed by your healthcare provider. Rotate injection sites with each dose to prevent irritation or lumps under the skin.

  8. After injecting, dispose of the needle and syringe properly in a puncture-resistant container.

  9. Store any unused portion of the vial back in the refrigerator immediately after use.


Additional Tips:

  • If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and resume your regular dosing schedule. Do not double up on doses to make up for a missed one.

  • Keep a record of your injections, including the date, time, amount of units, and injection site, to track your progress and ensure proper dosing.
