What is Mounjaro used for?
Mounjaro is used for weight loss accompanied by a balanced diet and regular exercise. It is typically used in combination with a reduced-calorie diet and regular physical activity. This drug is prescribed if you have a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. It can also be prescribed if you have a lower BMI of 27, along with certain medical conditions such as asthma or high blood pressure. The active ingredient reduces your appetite, helps fight cravings and slows gut motility helping you to eat less.
How does Mounjaro work?
(glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) agonists. These work by mimicking the effects of a naturally occurring hormone in the body which helps regulate sugar levels and increase the amount of energy used by the body. This reduces cravings, and the feeling of hunger and makes you feel full faster and for longer, making you eat less and helping you lose weight.
Mounjaro is a weekly weight loss injection that contains Tirzepatide, a substance that activates two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that reduce appetite and slow down digestion. Tirzepatide can help people lose weight and keep it off when combined with diet and exercise is more effective than other GLP-1’s on their own.
