Where 2.5 mg sits in a titration

2.5 mg is the label starting dose for the approved product and is not intended as a maintenance dose — it is taken for four weeks to let the gastrointestinal side effects settle before the first increase. It is the starting dose on the tirzepatide ladder.

The approved product at this dose is Zepbound. Compounded tirzepatide is not an FDA-approved product and is not a generic of it; the FDA does not review compounded drugs for safety, effectiveness or quality before they are dispensed. Dose decisions belong to a licensed clinician, not to a price table.
