Dose Escalation Calculator
Free Online Dose Escalation Calculator (2026)
Calculate when to increase your Ozempic or Mounjaro dose. Interactive titration schedule calculator with personalized timing.
How to Use This Calculator
Use this page as a label-based dose-step helper for semaglutide and tirzepatide products. It helps you compare the current step with the next labeled step, but it does not replace your prescriber's instructions.
If your medication is compounded or prescribed off-label, follow the exact directions you were given rather than the brand-label schedule.
Step-by-Step Instructions
How to Use This Calculator Effectively
The useful comparison here is between your current dose and the label schedule for your specific product. That is why the calculator is a reference tool, not a dosing decision-maker.
Do not increase a dose just because the calendar says it is time. If you still have nausea, vomiting, or appetite suppression that is too strong, keep the current step and ask your clinician what to do next.
For brand-name products, compare the result with the FDA label. For compounded products, compare it with the written instructions from the pharmacy or prescriber.
How Fast Do Real Users Increase Their Dose?
Faster than official titration schedules suggest. Among 269 Shotlee users logging GLP-1 doses in milligrams, 77% — about 3 in 4 — moved up from their starting dose at some point in their logged history, and the median time to that first increase was just 21 days, roughly a week ahead of the 4-week step-up cadence on semaglutide and tirzepatide labels. Some of that reflects compounded or research protocols with faster schedules, and some reflects prescribers starting patients above the lowest rung. Whatever your schedule, log every dose change: appetite, side effects, and weight response often shift noticeably at each step, and that record is what lets you and your prescriber judge whether an increase actually helped.

Yes. All Shotlee calculators are free to use with no registration required.
The math is accurate for comparing a current dose to a label step-up schedule, but the right next step still depends on your exact medication, your response, and your clinician's advice.
Recalculate any time your prescription changes, you switch products, or your prescriber changes the titration pace.
