You must have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m2 or more (obese), or of at least 27 kg/m2 (overweight) and have a risk factor or a health condition that is affected by weight. Taking Mounjaro alongside a diet and exercise plan has been proven to help people lose around 22.5% of their initial body weight by week 72 of treatment, at a maximum dose of 15 mg.
It is appropriate for people who have a BMI of 30 or more, as well as those who have weight-related issues. To get the most out of Mounjaro, it should be used in conjunction with a nutritious diet and frequent exercise.
Mounjaro is a new weight loss injection that can be prescribed if you meet certain BMI requirements. It is also used for people with type 2 diabetes who have high blood sugar (glucose) levels and contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. Mounjaro for weight loss comes as an injection pen that can be administered once a week to reduce food cravings, and promote feelings of fullness.
It should always be taken alongside a diet and exercise plan, no matter if you are taking it for weight loss or diabetes. You can only get Mounjaro on prescription. In the US, Mounjaro for weight loss is found under the brand name Zepbound. Mounjaro was only recently approved for weight loss in the UK (8 November 2023) and is available on a private prescription.
To take Mounjaro for weight loss you should inject your dose once a week, on the same day and at the same time. This helps keep the levels of tirzepatide steady in your bloodstream, reducing the risk of side effects and increasing its effectiveness.
