Mounjaro is a medication that contains Tirzepatide as its active ingredient, which helps you lose weight. It is prescribed for individuals who are either obese or overweight and have related health issues. Mounjaro works by controlling your appetite, making you feel full and reducing food cravings, so you eat less and lose weight.

For best results, Mounjaro should be combined with a low-calorie diet, exercise, and healthy lifestyle choices.  

What is Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Injection?

The active ingredient in Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) aides weight loss by helping you feel fuller, less hungry and cravings, resulting in improved control of eating habits and calorie intake. As a result you will consume less calorie per day and over time this  accumulation of calorie deficit will result in weight loss. 

Tirzepatide is a long acting dual GLP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLPs play an important role in regulating appetite, calorie intake and energy metabolism. 

How does Mounjaro help me lose excess weight?

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) could be considered for weight loss if you are obese, have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 30kg/m2; or overweight (have a BMI of over 27kg/m2) and have other weight-related health conditions such as type2 diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, sleep apnoea, high cholesterol, etc. 

You must always try to initially manage your weight by means of increasing your physical activities (e.g. exercise), balanced diet and healthy lifestyle choices (e.g. reducing alcohol consumption) before considering the use of any medicines. 

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is a Prescription Only Medicine (POM) and you are required to complete an online consultation at My Private Pharmacist so our prescriber can assess the safety and appropriateness of the treatment options for you.  

The primary benefits of achieving a healthy weight with Mounjaro go beyond just aesthetic and social reasons; they are mainly focused around the health improvements you can gain.

Managing day-to-day problems related to being overweight or obese

Excess weight loss can help with better managing breathlessness, excessive sweating, snoring, joint & back pain, fatigue, difficulty doing physical activities, sex and more.

Preventing more serious weight related health conditions

Being overweight or obese can increase your risks of serious health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, high cholesterol, osteoarthritis, sleep apnoea, liver & kidney disease, reflux disease, and several types of cancer and many more. Obesity also reduces life expectancy by an average of 3 to 10 years, depending on how severe it is.

Your commitment to reaching a healthy weight can help with minimising common psychological problems such as low-self-esteem, poor body image, developing depression and weight bias & discrimination, etc. 

What are the benefits of reaching a healthy weight with Mounjaro?

The dose is given as a subcutaneous self-injections only ONCE WEEKLY (every 7 days).

The doses are titrated up gradually, if tolerated, every 4 weeks until reaching the maximum dose of 15mg weekly as a maintenance dose. 

Tolerated here means as long as there are no concerns nor side effects that affects your well being and quality of life.  

2.5 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks, then 

5 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks, then 

7.5 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks, then 

10 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks, then 

12.5 mg once weekly for at least 4 weeks, then 

15 mg once weekly and continue as maintenance dose until reaching healthy BMI

What is the recommended dosing for Mounjaro?

Mounjaro, Wegovy, and Ozempic are medications used to support weight loss and/or manage type 2 diabetes, but they differ in their active ingredients, mechanisms of action, and specific approvals.

Mounjaro: Contains Tirzepatide, a dual-action medication targeting GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. Clinical trials suggest it may lead to greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide-based treatments (i.e. Wegovy/Ozempic) due to its dual mechanism.

Mounjaro is available in 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, and 15mg doses, provided in KwikPen self-injecting pen devices.

Wegovy/Ozempic: Contains Semaglutide, which targets only the GLP-1 receptor. Wegovy and Ozempic are 2 different brands of the same medicine manufactured by Novo-Nordisk and they are licensed for weight management and type-2 diabetes respectively. 

Both brands come as 0.25mg, 0.5mg, 1mg but only Wegovy comes in 1.7mg and 2.4mg because the maximum dose for weight management is higher. Both brands are available in FlexTouch self-injection pen devices.

Wegovy is the only brand available from My Private Pharmacist for weight management. 

What is the difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy/Ozempic?

The price difference for Mounjaro across various pharmacies often reflects more than just the cost of the medication itself; it’s also about the level of service and support you receive from the pharmacy.
