Mounjaro is a medication designed to help lower blood sugar levels and support weight loss. It is primarily used in adults with type 2 diabetes but can also assist individuals who are overweight and find it difficult to lose weight despite following a healthy lifestyle. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a compound that mimics the action of natural hormones in the body. These hormones aid in lowering blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin release and reducing appetite. Consequently, Mounjaro can help stabilise blood sugar levels and may contribute to weight reduction. The medication is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity. Results vary between individuals; some may notice improvements quickly, while for others, it may take longer. Mounjaro is available by prescription only and is administered via a subcutaneous injection.

Each pen delivers four doses. The medication is available in different dose strengths. Each dose strength comes in a pack containing one prefilled pen with disposable needles (1 pen = 4 doses).

Dosage and usage

Mounjaro is administered once a week as a subcutaneous injection, typically in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food. Aim to administer the injection on the same day each week. Always follow your doctor's instructions regarding the correct dosage. If you are unsure how to inject, consult your doctor or pharmacist for guidance. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible if fewer than 4 days have passed. If more than 4 days have elapsed, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule.
