Mounjaro - Prescription and Information
General Information About Mounjaro
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist that helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and promote weight loss by mimicking natural gut hormones.
Mounjaro is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes, but it is commonly prescribed off-label for weight loss. A higher-dose version called Zepbound is specifically approved for weight management.
Mounjaro slows digestion, reduces hunger, and enhances insulin sensitivity, leading to a lower calorie intake and improved fat loss.
Doctors may prescribe Mounjaro for weight loss if you have a BMI ≥30 or a BMI ≥27 with weight-related health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
Many users notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks, with significant weight loss occurring within 3 to 6 months.
Clinical trials show that people using Mounjaro can lose up to 20-25% of their body weight over a year, making it one of the most effective weight loss medications available.
Studies suggest Mounjaro leads to more weight loss than Ozempic due to its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors. However, individual results may vary.
Mounjaro helps reduce appetite and calorie intake, but results are significantly better when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
Discontinuing Mounjaro may lead to weight regain as appetite and cravings return to normal. Maintaining lifestyle changes is key.
Yes, Mounjaro is safe for long-term use as long as it remains effective and well-tolerated.
