Titration

Titration, half-life, washout, and missed-dose practical concepts.

Definition

Gradual dose escalation to minimize side effects. Tirzepatide's standard schedule steps every 4 weeks (2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 → 12.5 → 15 mg). Slower titration reduces nausea and the rate of facial volume change.
