What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a new weight loss injection authorised for weight loss and management in the US. Initially a type 2 diabetes treatment, it contains the active ingredient Tirzepatide. When taking Mounjaro for weight loss, patients use one Mounjaro pen per week for their treatment and must follow a diet and exercise plan for best results.
Mounjaro Dosage Options
Mounjaro pens come in different dose options, so you and your healthcare provider can find the best dose to suit your treatment.
New patients start on 2.5mg and move up to 5mg after 4 weeks. Once you have settled on 5mg, we will work with you to decide if you need to increase to a higher dose of 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg or 15mg. Each time your dose increases, you need to remain on it for 4 weeks before increasing.
How do Mounjaro weight loss injections work?
Mounjaro weight loss injections contain the active ingredient Tirezepatide, which imitates two hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones slow digestion, so food takes longer to pass through your digestive system. They also reduce your appetite, so you feel fuller for longer and eat less.
How effective is Mounjaro for weight loss?
Clinical studies have shown that Mounjaro can lead to a 15% weight loss in patients after 9 months of taking Mounjaro for weight loss.
When announcing the authorisation of Mounjaro pens for weight loss management in the US, the MHRA shared clinical trial results over 16 months showing up to 20% weight loss in patients taking Tirzapatide.
How to use Mounjaro weight loss injections
Mounjaro weight loss injections should be injected under the skin of your stomach, upper leg or upper arm.
- Prepare by cleaning the injection site using an alcohol swab or soap and water.
- When ready, pull off the base cap.
- Place the base of the Mounjaro pen flat on your skin and twist to unlock it.
- Press and hold the button at the top of the pen for up to 10 seconds.
- When you hear the first click, the injection has started.
- The second click means the injection is complete.
- After use, dispose of the pen immediately in a sharps box.
- Use a gauze pad or cotton wool if needed and apply pressure to stop bleeding.
You can use the same area of your body every time you Mounjaro pens, but choose a different spot for the injection site.
