Frequently asked
How long does Tirzepatide stay in your system?
With a half-life of ≈ 5 days, roughly 97% of a single Tirzepatide dose is cleared after five half-lives — about 25 days. Repeated dosing accumulates and takes correspondingly longer to clear.
What does a ≈ 5 days half-life mean in practice?
Every 5 days, the remaining amount halves: 100% → 50% → 25% → 12.5%, and so on. The curve above plots exactly this decay for a single dose.
Where does this Tirzepatide half-life number come from?
FDA label: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) prescribing information. We cite a primary source for every half-life we publish and version every change.
