Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)

What is Mounjaro® (tirzepatide)?

Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) is a weekly injection for adults trying to lose weight. It helps people with high BMIs (body mass indexes) lose weight. It contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. Mounjaro® is also known as Zepbound®.

If prescribed, it’s important that Mounjaro® is used alongside healthy lifestyle changes, such as more physical activity and a reduced calorie diet.

How does Mounjaro® work?

• Supresses appetite. Mimics naturally occurring hormones to make you feel less hungry.
• Regulates blood sugar. Helping you to feel fuller for longer.
• Food leaves your stomach slower. Slows down digestion so you may eat smaller portions.

How effective is Mounjaro®?

When it comes to weight loss every person is different. Some people will lose weight faster than others. Mounjaro® can help you lose weight from the first dose alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.

Clinical trials have shown that on average, patients lost up to 21% of their original weight on the highest dose of Mounjaro® (15mg). Most adults (96%) can also expect to lose at least 5% of their body weight when using Mounjaro®.
