Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Injections

The onset of Mounjaro's effects can vary, but patients may begin to see improvements in their blood sugar levels and weight within a few weeks of starting treatment. Continued use in combination with diet and exercise enhances its effectiveness.

Yes, Mounjaro is a prescription medication. You will need to consult a healthcare professional to determine if it is suitable for your condition and obtain a prescription. By using our online consultation service, you will be able to complete a short questionnaire that will be used by one of our clinical prescribers to assess your treatment eligibility and approve or decline your order, with a refund if necessary.

Mounjaro is administered by subcutaneous injection once a week. It can be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, rotating the injection site each week to minimize the risk of skin irritation.

Mounjaro should be stored in a refrigerator between 2°C and 8°C (36°F and 46°F). Do not freeze. Keep the pen in its original packaging to protect it from light. Once used, it can be stored at room temperature for 30 days.

Wegovy and Mounjaro are both injectable medications used primarily for weight management in adults, but they differ in their active ingredients and mechanisms of action.

Wegovy:

Active Ingredient: Semaglutide.
Mechanism of Action: Wegovy acts as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-1, a hormone that regulates appetite and calorie consumption. It increases the feeling of satiety and reduces hunger, leading to reduced food intake.
Use: Approved for chronic weight management in adults who are obese or overweight, with at least one weight-related condition, such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes, or dyslipidemia.

Mounjaro:

Active Ingredient: Tirzepatide.
Mechanism of Action: Mounjaro is unique in that it acts as both a GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptor agonist. This dual action not only reduces appetite and food intake, like GLP-1 agonists, but also enhances insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner and potentially affects fat metabolism.
Use: Initially approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, with promising results in significant weight reduction, which led to its approval for the management of obesity as well.

Although both drugs belong to a broader category of metabolic management treatments, Mounjaro's dual mechanism may offer broader metabolic effects compared to Wegovy. Both have demonstrated effectiveness in weight loss and improving various metabolic parameters in clinical trials, but the choice between them will depend on individual health profiles, specific medical conditions, and the recommendations of a healthcare professional.
