Mounjaro Injections
Understanding Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a weekly injection that helps regulate appetite, support fat burning, and manage blood sugar. It is suitable for people with obesity, certain health conditions, or Type 2 diabetes. Mounjaro offers significant weight loss and added benefits for heart and kidney health. It may cause side effects and is not suitable for everyone.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medication that combines two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which both play essential roles in regulating appetite and immune function.
Who is it for?
Patients with obesity or a BMI in the overweight range with a health complication.
Patients with Type 2 diabetes.
How does Mounjaro work?
It slows the rate at which food leaves the stomach, helping you feel full for a longer period.
It reduces 'food noise' or distractions related to hunger.
It encourages the body to utilise fat as a fuel source.
How is it taken?
Mounjaro is administered as a weekly injection under the skin, typically in the abdomen, upper leg, or upper arm.
What are the benefits?
It is highly effective for weight loss, with many patients losing over 25% of their body weight.
It causes less muscle loss compared to fasting diets (30% loss versus 50-66% loss).
It has been shown to improve cardiovascular health and protect against kidney disease.
What are the common side effects?
Like all medications, Mounjaro may cause side effects.
Common side effects can include:
Nausea
Diarrhoea
Vomiting
Constipation
Abdominal pain
Headache
Uncommon side effects may include:
Acute pancreatitis (recent studies have not shown an increased risk).
Gallstones (which can occur with other medications that induce rapid weight loss).
Who shouldn't take it?
Like all medications, Mounjaro may cause side effects.
A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
A diagnosis of gastroparesis.
Anyone with a history of an eating disorder.
