Mounjaro dosage chart
Mounjaro starts at 2.5 mg once weekly. Its adult maximum is 15 mg once weekly. This chart reports the label, not a personal dosing plan. A clinician decides which dose suits a person.
Dose steps and minimum intervals
The label permits 2.5 mg increases after at least 4 weeks on the current dose, only if more blood sugar control is needed. These are optional steps, not an automatic schedule.

Maintenance doses and age limits
The Mounjaro label names no set of maintenance dosages. It says to move up in 2.5 mg steps, and only where blood sugar needs more help. Each step needs at least 4 weeks on the one before it. The ceiling is 15 mg for adults and 10 mg from age 10. The August 2026 approval allows 2.5 mg for ongoing blood sugar control too.
For children and teenagers aged 10–17 with type 2 diabetes, the maximum is 10 mg once weekly. The adult maximum is 15 mg once weekly.
