What is Mounjaro
Mounjaro, also known by its generic name tirzepatide, is a medication primarily approved for managing type 2 diabetes. However, it has also shown remarkable efficacy in promoting weight loss. Mounjaro works by stimulating the release of insulin and inhibiting the release of glucagon, which helps regulate blood sugar levels. Additionally, it impacts appetite regulation by enhancing feelings of fullness, making it easier for individuals to control their food intake.
In clinical studies, participants taking Mounjaro experienced an average weight loss of 21.4% of their body weight over 72 weeks. This medication is administered once a week via subcutaneous injection.
