Description
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a prescription weight management treatment supplied as a once-weekly, self-injectable pen. Available strengths include 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, and 15mg.
Active Ingredient
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide as its active ingredient. It is prescribed to help adults manage their weight, particularly those who are overweight or living with obesity, when used alongside a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity.
How Mounjaro Works
Tirzepatide has a dual-action effect, targeting two key hormone receptors:
- GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1): Helps the body release insulin after eating, lowers blood sugar levels, and reduces glucagon.
- GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): Slows stomach emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing appetite.
Who Can Use Mounjaro?
- BMI of 30 or above (classified as obesity)
- BMI of 27 or above (overweight) with at least one weight-related health condition such as prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or cardiovascular disease
Dosage & How to Use
Treatment usually begins with 2.5mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks. After the first 4 weeks, the dose is typically increased to 5mg once weekly. Further increases may be recommended gradually by your doctor.
Mounjaro is injected subcutaneously (under the skin) using a pre-filled pen in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm on the same day each week.
Important Safety Information
- Use exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
- Never share your injection pen with anyone else.
- Do not attempt to extract extra doses from the pen (‘5th dose’ or ‘golden dose’).
- Not recommended during pregnancy, when trying to conceive, or while breastfeeding.
