Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies	Note 1. Description of business and summary of significant accounting policies: *Overview* Telomir Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Telomir” or the “Company”) was formed in August 2021 and is a Florida-based early pre-clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that is developing its product candidate, TELOMIR-1, a novel small molecule being developed to function as an oral in situ therapeutic treatment for human stem cells. Based on the Company’s pre-clinical studies and if approved by the FDA and comparable foreign regulators, the Company believes that TELOMIR-1 may effectively serve as a metal enzyme inhibitor of essential metals such as zinc and copper. These essential metals play an important role in the production and function of many enzymatic reactions and the modulation of key cellular pathways. In particular, zinc is essential to the function of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin-17, or IL-17, that play a role in a host of age-related inflammatory conditions such as osteoarthritis and hemochromatosis as well as in post-chemotherapy health problems. As such, TELOMIR-1 is under investigation to potentially provide a therapeutic intervention against age-related inflammatory conditions such osteoarthritis and hemochromatosis, as well as for post-chemotherapy recovery, by interrupting and preventing the IL-17 induced inflammatory pathways that create the systemic imbalance of cellular metals. Substantive operations began in late 2022 and the Company’s Investigative New Drug application is anticipated to be filed with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in first quarter 2025 for osteoarthritis. An international patent application for TELOMIR-1 was filed August 29, 2023 and is pending. National phase filings are expected to be made during the first quarter 2025. See Note 4 regarding this patent. The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for future periods.

A valuation allowance is recognized regarding deferred tax assets, if any, if it is more likely than not that some portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. *Research and development expenses* Research and development costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred and include the expenses paid to third parties, such as contract research organizations and consultants, who conduct research and development activities on behalf of the Company.

GAAP defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. GAAP also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The Company considers the carrying amount of deferred offering costs to approximate fair value due to short-term nature of this instrument. GAAP describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 – quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable. Level 3 – inputs that are unobservable (for example cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions).
