Description

Mounjaro® is a revolutionary medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes and those seeking weight management solutions. Containing the active substance Tirzepatide, Mounjaro works by reducing blood sugar levels when they are high and aiding in weight loss and maintenance by regulating appetite. It is suitable for use alone when metformin cannot be taken or in combination with other diabetes medications when additional blood sugar level control is necessary. Additionally, Mounjaro supports weight loss and maintenance in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for adults with obesity or overweight with weight-related health issues. Available in pre-filled pens for convenient injection, it offers a new hope for effective diabetes management and weight control.

Each pen comes with 4 doses (with needles) to be taken once a week.
Directions

To use Mounjaro effectively, start with the prescribed dose, injecting once a week on the same day. Administer injections in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, rotating sites to avoid irritation. Before injecting, clean your hands and the injection area. Let refrigerated medication warm slightly for comfort. Use clean techniques for needle attachment and injection, disposing of sharps properly. Store the medication in the fridge or briefly at room temperature as allowed. If a dose is missed, take it soon if within a few days; otherwise, skip it and never double dose. Regularly consult with your healthcare provider to adjust doses and discuss any side effects. Always follow your healthcare provider's detailed instructions.

Ingredients

Tirzepatide, the active substance in Mounjaro, works by mimicking the actions of natural hormones in the body that regulate blood sugar and appetite. As a dual GIP (Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) and GLP-1 (Glucagon-like Peptide-1) receptor agonist, it enhances insulin secretion in response to high blood sugar levels, slows down gastric emptying, and reduces appetite and food intake, leading to improved glycemic control and weight loss in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Side Effects

Gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation), potential hypoglycemia (especially when used with other diabetes medications), injection site reactions, and possibly others depending on the individual's health condition and other medications being taken.

Warning

When using Mounjaro (tirzepatide), important precautions include being vigilant for severe abdominal pain indicative of pancreatitis, monitoring blood sugar levels due to the risk of hypoglycemia when combined with other diabetes medications, reporting any changes in urination that could signal kidney issues, and seeking immediate medical attention for persistent digestive problems like vomiting or diarrhea. It's also crucial to inform your doctor of any personal or family history of thyroid cancer, given studies in rodents linking Mounjaro-like medications to thyroid issues. Be alert for signs of allergic reactions, and if you're pregnant or breastfeeding, consult with your healthcare provider about potential risks.

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

How quickly does Mounjaro start to work?

The onset of Mounjaro's effects can vary, but patients may begin to see improvements in their blood sugar levels and weight within a few weeks of starting treatment. Continuous use in conjunction with diet and exercise enhances its efficacy.

Do I need a prescription for Mounjaro?

Yes, Mounjaro is a prescription medication. You will need to consult a healthcare provider to determine if it's appropriate for your condition and to receive a prescription. Using our online consultation service will enable you to answer a short questionnaire that would be used by one of our clinical prescribers to determine your eligibility for the treatment and approve or decline and refund your order.

How is Mounjaro administered?

Mounjaro is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week. It can be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with the site of injection rotated each week to minimise the risk of skin irritation.

How should Mounjaro be stored?

Mounjaro should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Keep the pen in its original packaging to protect from light. Once in use, it may be kept at room temperature for 30 days.

What is the difference between Wegovy and Mounjaro?

Wegovy and Mounjaro are both injectable medications used primarily for weight management in adults, but they differ in their active ingredients and mechanisms of action.

Wegovy:

Active Ingredient: Semaglutide.
Mechanism of Action: Wegovy functions as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking the action of the glucagon-like peptide-1 hormone which regulates appetite and calorie intake. It enhances feelings of fullness and reduces hunger, leading to a reduction in food intake.
Usage: Approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia.

Mounjaro:

Active Ingredient: Tirzepatide.
Mechanism of Action: Mounjaro is unique in that it acts as both a GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist. This dual action not only helps in reducing appetite and food intake like GLP-1 agonists but also enhances insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and possibly affects fat metabolism.
Usage: Initially approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with promising results in significant weight reduction, leading to its approval for use in obesity management as well.

While both medications are part of a broader category of drugs used for metabolic management, the dual mechanism of Mounjaro may offer broader metabolic effects compared to Wegovy. Both have shown effectiveness in weight loss and improvements in various metabolic parameters in clinical trials, but the choice between them may depend on individual health profiles, specific medical conditions, and healthcare provider recommendations.
