Mounjaro Weight Loss Injection
Mounjaro is a groundbreaking weight loss injection that has recently been approved for use in the UK. Developed by the pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, this revolutionary treatment contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, a dual agonist that targets two key hormones responsible for regulating appetite and energy balance.
Unlike traditional weight loss medications that focus solely on the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor, Mounjaro also acts on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor. By mimicking the effects of these natural hormones, Mounjaro is able to deliver a more potent and comprehensive approach to weight management. Contact us today for more information.
How Does Mounjaro Work?
The secret to Mounjaro’s remarkable effectiveness lies in its unique mechanism of action. By simultaneously targeting the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, Mounjaro is able to achieve a synergistic effect that goes beyond the capabilities of traditional GLP-1 agonists.
GLP-1 is a hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels and promoting feelings of fullness. By activating the GLP-1 receptor, Mounjaro helps to slow the emptying of the stomach, making you feel fuller for longer and reducing your overall calorie intake.
But Mounjaro’s true power lies in its ability to also target the GIP receptor. GIP is another hormone that works in tandem with GLP-1 to further enhance the regulation of blood sugar and energy balance. By mimicking the effects of both these hormones, Mounjaro is able to exert a more profound influence on appetite, cravings, and overall metabolic function.
This dual-action approach sets Mounjaro apart from its competitors, allowing it to deliver unparalleled weight loss results when combined with a healthy lifestyle and dietary changes.
Mounjaro Dosage and Administration
Mounjaro is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection, making it a convenient and discreet option for individuals looking to manage their weight. The dosage of Mounjaro is gradually increased over time to help minimise the risk of potential side effects and allow the body to adjust to the treatment.
The recommended dosing schedule for Mounjaro is as follows:
- Weeks 1-4: 2.5 mg once weekly
- Weeks 5-8: 5 mg once weekly
- Weeks 9-12: 7.5 mg once weekly
- Weeks 13-16: 10 mg once weekly
- Weeks 17-20: 12.5 mg once weekly
- Weeks 21 and beyond: 15 mg once weekly (maintenance dose)

Mounjaro has been the subject of extensive clinical research, and the results have been nothing short of remarkable. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, a staggering 85.1% of individuals taking Mounjaro lost at least 5% of their initial body weight after 72 weeks of treatment.
The weight loss results observed with Mounjaro are truly impressive, with participants achieving the following average weight loss percentages:

- 15 mg dose: 22.5% weight loss
