Dosage Protocols
| Dose | Weight Loss (24 wks) | Route | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.25 mg | ~6.7% | Oral capsule | Once daily |
| 0.5 mg | ~10.6% | Oral capsule | Once daily |
| 1.0 mg | ~12.8% | Oral capsule | Once daily |
The 0.5 mg dose showed the best efficacy-safety balance in Phase 2 trials. The 1.0 mg dose produced greater weight loss but with more cardiovascular effects (heart rate, blood pressure).
Administration
Tesofensine is an oral capsule — no reconstitution or injection required. Taken once daily, typically in the morning to minimize insomnia risk from dopaminergic and noradrenergic activity.
Timing & Duration
Clinical trials administered tesofensine for 24 weeks. Morning dosing is preferred to reduce sleep disruption. Take with or without food. Long-term treatment data beyond 24 weeks is limited.
