FAQs
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a prescription medication designed to help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes. It is also being explored for its potential in weight management due to its ability to promote feelings of fullness and reduce appetite. Mounjaro contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, which works by mimicking natural hormones involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control.
How does Mounjaro work?
Mounjaro is a dual-action medication that targets two key hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play a significant role in regulating blood sugar and appetite. By activating these receptors, Mounjaro helps lower blood sugar levels, slow down digestion, and increase feelings of fullness, which can aid in weight loss and better glycaemic control.
How effective is Mounjaro?
Clinical studies have shown that Mounjaro is highly effective in improving blood sugar control and promoting significant weight loss in many patients. In trials, patients with type 2 diabetes who used Mounjaro experienced better reductions in HbA1c levels compared to other diabetes medications, and many reported weight loss as a secondary benefit. The effectiveness may vary depending on individual factors such as lifestyle and adherence to the treatment plan.
What is the dosage of Mounjaro?
You typically administer Mounjaro as a once-weekly injection. You start with a dose of 2.5 mg for the first four weeks to help your body adjust. After this initial period, you may increase the dose to 5 mg per week. Depending on your treatment goals and response, your healthcare provider may further adjust the dosage up to a maximum of 15 mg per week. Always follow your prescriber’s instructions for dosage adjustments.
How do I take Mounjaro?
You administer Mounjaro as a subcutaneous injection under the skin. You can inject it into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm and select a different injection site each time to avoid irritation. It’s important to take Mounjaro on the same day each week, but if you miss a dose, you should take it as soon as possible within four days. If more than four days have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.
Can I switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro?
You can switch from Wegovy to Mounjaro, but only with guidance from a healthcare provider. Both medications support weight loss and are administered via injection, but they work in slightly different ways and follow distinct dosing schedules. Your doctor will consider your medical history, current progress, and goals before making any changes to your treatment plan. It’s crucial to follow professional advice to ensure a safe and effective transition.

FAQs
What is Wegovy?
Wegovy is a prescription medication that specifically helps adults who are obese or overweight manage chronic weight issues, especially if they have at least one weight-related condition, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. It contains the active ingredient semaglutide, which mimics a natural hormone in the body to help regulate appetite and food intake.
How does Wegovy work?
Wegovy works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1), which is naturally produced in the gut. This hormone helps regulate appetite, slows down digestion, and promotes a feeling of fullness. By reducing hunger and helping you feel satisfied after smaller meals, Wegovy supports long-term weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How effective is Wegovy?
Clinical studies have shown that Wegovy is highly effective in promoting weight loss. Patients using Wegovy in combination with lifestyle changes have achieved an average weight loss of around 15-20% of their body weight over 68 weeks. Results can vary depending on individual factors, but many patients see significant improvements in weight and health markers such as blood sugar levels and blood pressure.
What is the dosage of Wegovy?
Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The treatment begins with a lower starting dose of 0.25 mg per week to help your body adjust and minimise potential side effects. The dose is gradually increased over 16-20 weeks until the maintenance dose of 2.4 mg per week is reached. Your healthcare provider will guide you through this titration schedule to ensure optimal results and tolerability.
How do I take Wegovy?
Wegovy is taken as a subcutaneous injection into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It is important to inject it on the same day each week, at any time of day, with or without food. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible within five days of the missed dose. If more than five days have passed, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Always rotate injection sites to avoid skin irritation.
Can I switch from Mounjaro to Wegovy?
Switching from Mounjaro to Wegovy is possible, but it should only be done under the supervision of a healthcare provider. While both medications can aid in weight management, they work through different mechanisms and have unique dosing schedules. Your doctor will consider your medical history, treatment goals, and response to Mounjaro before recommending a switch to Wegovy. It’s essential to follow professional advice to ensure the transition is safe and effective.
