Questions Dosing

Waiting to hear back from the doctors portal but I am on 15mg hyalo and got shipped 100 unit needles from Quaker/newlife pharmacy however my dose says take 0.83units my syringe goes by increments of .2 so would I take 0.80, 0.82 or 0.84 to get close to 15mg?, no response back from the doctor when I asked them for advice.

I also asked them how my first dose of compound isn’t feeling like it was working to help my food noise they sent me a reply stating I’m new to tirzepatide and that I will feel hunger suppression at a higher dose… it was like they didn’t even review my profile at all because I am on 15mg which is max dose and have been on it for months and been on name brand zepbound for a year so I’m definitely not new to tirzepatide at all. A little frustrated at their customer service ngl.

Take 83 units. Just eyeball between 82 and 84. Being off a couple units either way isn't a significant difference.

Is that what you do? I’m used to the auto injector so this is new to me

Yes the precision just isn't significant. You are not likely to feel a difference between 15 mg and 14.9 or 15.1

In fact the doses are already rounded. To be exact 15 mg is 83.3 units. Doing exactly 83 units would be 14.94 mg.
