Mounjaro

Mounjaro is a newer medication containing tirzepatide.

It works on two hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP), which can produce powerful effects on:

• appetite regulation

• blood sugar control

• weight reduction

Clinical studies have shown that tirzepatide can lead to substantial weight loss in appropriate patients.

Like Ozempic, Mounjaro should only be used under medical supervision.

who can use weight loss injections?

Weight loss injections are an excellent choice for some people, but they are not appropriate for everyone.

They may be considered for patients who:

• have a BMI over 30

• have a BMI over 27 with medical risk factors (like high cholesterol, high blood pressure or an otherwise increased risk of cardiovascular disease)

• have struggled with weight despite lifestyle changes

• are at risk of type 2 diabetes

• have metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance

These medications are not suitable for people with certain medical conditions. If you are unsure, speaking with a doctor is the best way to understand your own personal options.

A holistic approach is best. While weight loss injections can help, it’s important to think about the bigger picture in order to achieve healthy and sustained weight loss. When assisting you with this, we would generally also consider:

• detailed medical assessment

• discussion of nutrition and lifestyle (including exercise to preserve muscle mass)

• metabolic risk assessment

• blood testing where appropriate

• ongoing follow-up and monitoring

Our aim is to support patients in improving long-term health, not simply achieving short-term weight loss.

• long-term lifestyle adjustments

Some patients use the medication for a limited period to support initial weight loss, while others continue treatment for longer to maintain results. This will be discussed during your consultation.

Do I need to see the doctor in person?

Follow-up appointments may sometimes be done by video consultation, depending on the situation.

How quickly do weight loss injections start working?

Many patients notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks of treatment.

Weight loss typically occurs gradually over several months as the medication helps regulate appetite and metabolism.

Can I stop taking the medication once I lose weight?

Some patients are able to stop treatment after achieving their weight loss goals, while others may benefit from longer-term support.

Your doctor will help you create a sustainable long-term plan that supports your overall health.

Are Ozempic and Mounjaro approved for weight loss?

Semaglutide and tirzepatide have been studied extensively for weight management. In some cases, medications originally developed for diabetes are also used to support weight loss under medical supervision.

Your doctor will advise which treatments are appropriate based on your individual health profile.

Will I need blood tests before starting treatment?

In some cases, blood tests may be recommended to check:

• blood sugar levels

• thyroid function

• cholesterol

• metabolic health

This helps ensure treatment is safe and appropriate.

What happens if I stop taking weight loss injections?

If medication is stopped without addressing underlying lifestyle factors, weight regain can sometimes occur. For this reason, weight loss treatment should ideally include long-term health and lifestyle support.
