Tesofensine Dosage

Triple monoamine reuptake inhibitor

Tesofensine has no approved label, so every dose figure here traces back to its Phase 2 TIPO-1 obesity trial rather than a prescribing guideline. That trial tested once-daily oral doses of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg alongside an energy-restricted diet over 24 weeks.[1][2]

Dosing

Tesofensine has no approved label, so these figures describe what the Phase 2 TIPO-1 trial studied, not a recommendation. It was given orally once daily:

Trial armOral dose (once daily)
Low dose0.25 mg
Mid dose0.5 mg
High dose1 mg
Doses from the Phase 2 TIPO-1 trial (24 weeks). Tesofensine is investigational; there is no approved prescribing dose, and higher doses tracked with a larger rise in heart rate.

Weight loss in the trial was dose-related, but so was the rise in heart rate, which is one reason the higher doses were viewed cautiously. Because tesofensine is still investigational and never gained approval, treat these numbers as a description of what was studied, not a recommendation.

FAQ

What tesofensine doses were used in trials?The Phase 2 TIPO-1 trial used once-daily oral doses of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg over 24 weeks. There is no approved dose because tesofensine remains investigational.
Is there a titration schedule?The published trial assigned fixed daily doses rather than a formal step-up schedule, so there is no established titration table. Any real-world use is off-label and unstudied.
