The Tirzepatide Dose Ladder
Six tiers, four weeks apart. What each dose does, what it costs, and when climbing stops paying off.
All six dose tiers
Tirzepatide is prescribed at six strengths — 2.5, 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 mg once weekly — with a minimum of four weeks at each before stepping up. The 2.5 mg tier is a tolerance-building dose, not a treatment dose. Most people settle between 7.5 mg and 12.5 mg.
In SURMOUNT-1, mean 72-week loss was 15.0% at 5 mg, 19.5% at 10 mg and 20.9% at 15 mg. The gain from 10 mg to 15 mg is small while side effects — and, on dose-scaled programs, cost — keep rising.

How this price is stated. All-in monthly price: medication plus any recurring membership or platform fee, at the stated dose tier, before tax and before any prepaid-term discount. Figures here are quoted at 10 mg. Prepaid rates and brand self-pay tiers are shown separately where they apply, never blended into the headline. Verified 2026-08-05. How we verify prices.
Every price on this site carries one of three verification levels, and they are not the same claim. 14 records are verified at source; 9 carry a third-party figure we have not confirmed with the provider; the rest publish no price at all.
- verified at source — Price read from the provider's own site, the manufacturer, or a named editorial source with a stated verification date.
- third-party figure — Price recorded from a third-party review supplied to us, not confirmed against the provider's own published material. Treat as indicative and confirm before enrolling.
- no price published — No figure we could interpret or verify. We publish nothing rather than estimate.
Levels are published per record in the open dataset. Where we verified a figure directly, seven times out of seven the correction changed the number.
