Mounjaro Kwikpen 10mg Pre-filled pen + 4mm Needles

Understanding Mounjaro for Weight Loss

Mounjaro is tailored for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or those with a BMI over 27 who have weight-related medical issues such as type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, obstructive sleep apnea, or high blood pressure.

How Mounjaro Works

Mounjaro features tirzepatide, an active ingredient that belongs to the GLP-1 agonist drug class. GLP-1 is a hormone that helps regulate hunger, naturally released by the intestines after meals. Mounjaro mirrors this hormone’s action, curbing appetite and creating a feeling of fullness. This can lead to reduced calorie intake and significant weight loss. Combining Mounjaro with a calorie-controlled diet can enhance these effects.

Is Mounjaro Right for You?

Consider Mounjaro for weight loss if you’ve previously attempted weight reduction through exercise and diet without success. While Mounjaro is not currently available in the UK, alternatives like Saxenda, Wegovy, and Ozempic, which are also GLP-1 agonists, can be explored.

Effectiveness of Mounjaro

Using Mounjaro pens to control appetite typically results in losing around 15-20% of your initial body weight upon completing the treatment.

Dosage and Administration

Mounjaro is administered weekly via an injectable pen, usually in the upper arm, upper thigh, or abdomen. The treatment begins with a recommended starting dosage of 2.5 mg weekly for four weeks. After this period, doses are incrementally increased by 2.5 mg, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly.
