What is Mounjaro?
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is a weekly self–injectable pen used for weight loss. Like Semaglutide, tirzepatide works on the hormone receptor GLP-1. It helps to regulate blood sugar levels, which in turn makes you feel less hungry and helps to stop cravings. It also slows down the emptying of the stomach to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
In addition to this, tirzepatide also works on the GIP hormone receptor. This regulates energy balance in brain and fat cells, enhancing the GLP-1 effect of suppressing your appetite and improving sugar control.
By combining the effects of both these naturally occurring hormones, Mounjaro has been shown to have greater weight loss potential than medicines that work on GLP-1 alone.
As with all medicines, Wegovy may cause some side effects. Mostly, these should be mild and are likely to lessen or even disappear after a few weeks of starting treatment. Your weightloss consultant will advise you on management of these side effects to minimise any discomfort.
The most common side effects with use of Wegovy are gastrointestinal in nature: nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation. Fatigue and headache are also very common, mainly as doses are increased.Other common side effects include: feeling lightheaded, excess wind (flatulence), development of gallstones, gastroesophageal reflux, injection site reactions, hair loss and hypoglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes.In rare cases, there can be serious side effects, such as pancreatitis or anaphylaxis.
