Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide, a medication used to help people with obesity or weight-related conditions lose weight. It works by controlling appetite, reducing cravings, and making you feel fuller for longer. By doing this, it helps you reduce your calorie intake, making it easier to stick to a healthy eating plan and achieve your weight loss goals.
Mounjaro is a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, meaning it mimics the naturally occurring hormones GLP-1 and GIP, which are released in the gut after eating. These hormones help regulate hunger, slow down digestion, and keep you feeling satisfied for a longer period. As a result, it can be a powerful tool in your weight loss journey when combined with a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
Mounjaro helps manage your weight by regulating blood sugar levels and reducing appetite. It works in several ways:
These combined effects make Mounjaro an effective weight loss treatment for those who have struggled with losing weight through traditional methods. By decreasing your calorie intake and improving blood sugar control, Mounjaro helps you achieve your weight loss goals in a healthy and sustainable way.
Using Mounjaro is easy, thanks to the pen-style injector that comes with each pack. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide on how to use the Mounjaro pen for weight loss:
1. Choose the Injection Site: Select a clean area of skin, such as your stomach (at least 5 cm away from your belly button), thigh, or upper arm.
2. Prepare the Pen: Remove the cap and clean the end of the pen with a swab. Attach the needle to the pen securely.
3. Prime the Pen: Twist the pen until a small drop of liquid appears at the tip of the needle, ensuring it’s ready for injection.
4. Inject the Medication: Hold the pen at a 90-degree angle to your skin, and gently press the plunger until the zero mark appears in the window. Hold the pen in place for 10 seconds to ensure the full dose is administered.
5. Dispose of the Needle: Safely dispose of the needle after use and store the pen in the fridge until your next dose.
Each pen comes with 4 doses, enough to last for 28 days. It’s important to keep the pen refrigerated at a temperature between 2-8°C, although it can remain stable outside the fridge for up to 4 weeks if needed.
Like any medication, Mounjaro can cause side effects. However, most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects include:
These side effects are usually mild and may improve as your body adjusts to the medication. If any side effects become severe or persistent, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider.
Mounjaro is typically prescribed to individuals who meet the following criteria:
Mounjaro is not recommended for individuals under 18, pregnant or breastfeeding women, or those with certain medical conditions such as kidney issues, pancreatitis, or thyroid problems.
