Mazdutide (10 mg Vial) Dosage Protocol
Quickstart Highlights
Mazdutide (IBI362) is a long‑acting dual GLP‑1/glucagon receptor agonist developed for chronic weight management and type 2 diabetes.[1][2] Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials have demonstrated substantial weight loss (6–14% reduction over 24–48 weeks) with mostly mild gastrointestinal side effects.[2][3][5] This educational protocol presents a once‑weekly subcutaneous approach with practical dilution for clear insulin‑syringe measurements.
Dosing & Reconstitution Guide
Educational guide for reconstitution and weekly dosing
Standard / Gradual Titration (3.0 mL = ~3.33 mg/mL)
| Week | Weekly Dose | Units (per injection) (mL) |
|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 2.5 mg (2,500 mcg) | 75 units (0.75 mL) |
| Weeks 5–8+ | 5 mg (5,000 mcg) | 150 units (1.50 mL) |
Frequency: Inject once weekly subcutaneously. This schedule mirrors clinical trial protocols with gradual titration to improve tolerability.[1][2] The 3.0 mL dilution provides practical unit measurements for standard maintenance doses.
Reconstitution Steps
Advanced / High‑Dose Protocol (2.0 mL = 5.0 mg/mL)
| Week | Weekly Dose | Units (per injection) (mL) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weeks 1–4 | 5 mg (5,000 mcg) | 100 units (1.00 mL) | 0.5 vials |
| Weeks 5–8 | 7.5 mg (7,500 mcg) | 150 units (1.50 mL) | 0.75 vials |
| Weeks 9–12+ | 10 mg (10,000 mcg) | 200 units (2.00 mL) | 1 vial |
Caution: High‑dose protocols (7.5–10 mg weekly) have been explored in phase 1b research but require careful monitoring and clinical oversight.[1] Doses above 6 mg increase the risk of gastrointestinal side effects. The 2.0 mL reconstitution provides higher concentration to reduce injection volume. For doses requiring >3.0 mL total volume, split into two separate injections at different sites.

Supplies Needed
Plan based on an 8–16 week weekly protocol with gradual titration to 5 mg maintenance.
- 8 weeks ≈ 3 vials (Weeks 1–4: 10 mg total = 1 vial; Weeks 5–8: 20 mg total = 2 vials)
- 12 weeks ≈ 5 vials (Weeks 1–4: 10 mg = 1 vial; Weeks 5–12: 40 mg = 4 vials)
- 16 weeks ≈ 7 vials (Weeks 1–4: 10 mg = 1 vial; Weeks 5–16: 60 mg = 6 vials)
- Per week: 1 syringe (once‑weekly dosing)
- 8 weeks: 8 syringes
- 12 weeks: 12 syringes
- 16 weeks: 16 syringes
- 8 weeks (3 vials): 9 mL → 1 × 10 mL bottle
- 12 weeks (5 vials): 15 mL → 2 × 10 mL bottles
- 16 weeks (7 vials): 21 mL → 3 × 10 mL bottles
- Per week: 2 swabs
- 8 weeks: 16 swabs → recommend 1 × 100‑count box
- 12 weeks: 24 swabs → recommend 1 × 100‑count box
- 16 weeks: 32 swabs → recommend 1 × 100‑count box
