Splitting Your Ozempic or Mounjaro Dose: Is It Safe? (Doctor Explains)

#Ozempic #Mounjaro #GLP1 #Tirzepatide #WeightLossDoctor

Should you split your weekly Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound shot into two smaller doses? Lots of you have asked me about this in the comments. People split their dose to ease the nausea in the first few days and keep food noise down late in the week. In this video, I explain what the pharmacokinetics predict, what the clinical trials did and didn’t test, and the hidden risks most people never hear about.

As an obesity medicine physician, I walk you through half-life, steady state, peak and trough levels, and a simple model of what splitting does to your drug levels. Then I cover the safer, approved ways your doctor can smooth out your week instead.
