Standard Dose

The standard Direct Meds DSIP dose is 20 units, administered as a subcutaneous (SQ) injection once nightly at bedtime.

Dosing Schedule

DSIP is dosed five nights per week, Monday through Friday, with the weekend off.

The Cycle Protocol

To prevent the body's receptors from becoming desensitized over time, DSIP is prescribed on a structured cycle. Cycling allows receptors to reset so the peptide continues to be effective.

• Protocol length: 12 weeks on
• Break: 2 weeks off after each 12-week cycle
• Provider check-in: Every 4 weeks throughout the protocol - send a message update to your care team to review your treatment plan and progress

After the 2-week break, your provider will assess your response and recommend whether to extend, taper, or move to a maintenance schedule.
