Staying safe
Things people sometimes notice
- Nausea for a few days after each dose increase
- Constipation or loose stools, and burping
- Eating much less without trying; keep protein up
- A resting heart rate a few beats higher
- Redness or a small bump at the injection site
Stop and get help if (trouble breathing or swelling: call 911)
- Severe, constant stomach pain, sometimes spreading to the back, with or without vomiting (pancreatitis)
- Pain under the right ribs with fever or yellowing skin (gallbladder)
- Heart racing or palpitations at rest that do not settle
- Vomiting that keeps you from holding down fluids for more than a day
Talk to your doctor first, especially if
- You or a close relative had medullary thyroid cancer or MEN 2; this class is not used in that case
- You take insulin or a sulfonylurea, because the combined glucose drop can mean the other medicine needs reducing
- You have a heart rhythm problem or heart disease, since the glucagon arm raises heart rate
- You have had pancreatitis or gallstones
- You are pregnant, planning to be within two months, or nursing
Mixing it
Mazdutide comes as a powder you mix with bacteriostatic water before the first use. It is dosed weekly with stepwise titration. Use the calculator for your exact vial size and target dose.
Bring the vial to room temperature and wipe the top with an alcohol swab.
Add 1 ml of bacteriostatic water to a 10 mg vial, aiming at the side of the glass. Then 10 units on the syringe is 1 mg.
Swirl gently until dissolved. Do not shake.
Start at a low target dose and step up to limit nausea.
Store in the fridge and inject on the same day each week.
