Published research contexts for Pramlintide describe 15–120 mcg per administration. Descriptive only, not a recommendation.
About 48 minutes; an amylin analog given at meals, so the curve is a series of short spikes rather than an accumulating level.

|---|---|---|---|
| Starting stepType-2 dosing in Hollander 2003; a separate injection site from any mealtime insulin. | 60 mcg | Before major meals | SubQ |
| MaintenanceType-1 use starts lower, 15 mcg titrated to 30–60 mcg. | 120 mcg | Before major meals | SubQ |
