Titration vial planner (total mg and vials for a stepped schedule)
Four steps of 4 uses at 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 1.7 mg total 13.8 mg, which is two 10 mg vials (rounded up).

Totals for the FDA-label escalations
Worked totals for the first four four-week steps of each label schedule we reproduce (four weekly uses per step). They show the arithmetic, not a recommendation.
| Schedule | Steps (mg) | Total mg |
|---|---|---|
| Semaglutide 2.4 mg | 0.25 → 0.5 → 1 → 1.7 | 13.8 |
| Tirzepatide 15 mg | 2.5 → 5 → 7.5 → 10 | 100 |
Worked example
Example: 4 uses each at 0.25, 0.5, 1 and 1.7 mg → 1 + 2 + 4 + 6.8 = 13.8 mg → two 10 mg vials.
How it works
1. List each step
For each step, enter the amount per use (mg) and how many uses it covers.
2. Add up
Total mg = sum of (amount × uses) across steps.
3. Vials
Vials = total mg ÷ vial size, rounded up.
Frequently asked questions
How many vials do I need for a titration schedule?
Add up amount × uses for each step, divide by the vial size and round up. This tool does that arithmetic for a schedule you already have.
Where do titration schedules come from?
Approved drugs have schedules in their FDA labels; trial drugs have schedules in published trial designs. Our protocol pages reproduce those with sources.
Does this recommend a schedule?
No. It sums numbers you enter.
