All about Mounjaro

The latest innovation in medical weight loss

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is an advanced medication for weight management. It activates two key hormone receptors – GIP and GLP-1 – reducing appetite, food intake, body fat, and body weight. This unique approach makes Mounjaro a great option in weight loss treatment strategies.

In contrast, Wegovy and Ozempic only work on GLP-1 receptors.

How effective are GIPs for weight loss?

There have been a number of clinical trials on the results of GIP which outperform other GLP-1 medications.

One study found an average of 19.5% body weight loss in patients on GIP after 52 weeks, compared to average patients on semaglutide who lost an average of 13.8% body weight over the same number of weeks.

Is it more effective than other weight loss medications?

GIPs work in a similar way to other injectable weight loss medications known as GLP-1s, however, they also act on another hormone pathway called gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) which promotes fat loss and blocks fat gain, in addition to the effects on insulin and sugar metabolism.

By combining the effects of GLP-1 and GIP together, this medication is more effective at promoting weight loss through reduced appetite, as well as directly on the pathways that lead to fat loss.

How is Mounjaro different to Wegovy?

You can find a summary of the differences between the two medications in this table.

Medication Name	Wegovy (Semaglutide)	Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)
How the medication works	Single action - acting like the natural hormone in your body called GLP-1.	Dual action - acting like the natural hormones in your body called GLP-1 & GIP. –
How is the medication effective?	Controls your hunger, food intake, and blood sugar. When you use Wegovy, it makes you feel full faster, so you eat less.	Reduces appetite, food intake, body fat, and body weight. *
How much weight can be lost Results vary patient to patient	Average 14.9% weight loss over 68 weeks	Average 15% to 20% in body weight over 72 weeks
How do you take the medication	Easy to use injection	Easy to use injection
How often do you take the medication	Once weekly	Once weekly
Medication regimen	Starting Wegovy is a step-by-step process. You begin with a small dose of 0.25mg once a week for the first four weeks. Then, every four weeks, the dose is increased gradually until you reach the maintenance dose of 2.4mg weekly. This gradual increase helps your body adapt to the medication comfortably.	Mounjaro's dosage is designed to increase gradually, starting at 2.5mg weekly for the initial four weeks. The dose then goes up in 2.5mg steps every four weeks. Depending on how your body responds, a maintenance dose of 5mg, 10mg, or 15mg may be appropriate.
Common side effects	Like all medications, Wegovy and Mounjaro can cause side effects, though they are usually mild and temporary. Common side effects might include feeling a bit nauseous, experiencing loose stools, or sometimes vomiting, especially when you first start the medication. Further details can be found in the patient information leaflet.	-

After being overweight since childhood

After trying every fad out there, I finally feel like there is light at the end of the tunnel. I was always on this yo-yo diet scenario, which never worked. I always just felt hungry throughout the dieting process and it actually kinda gets you down.

How long is the programme?

We recommend following our programme for at least six months to see significant results. However, the programme is set up as a monthly subscription so you can take it one month at a time.

Does Mounjaro have side effects?

Mounjaro, like any medication, can cause side effects. Most people only experience mild and short-term effects like decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion and stomach pain. These side effects typically improve as your body adjusts to the medication.

Our clinicians will make sure you get all the information you need on the possible side effects, and support you through your journey. For more detailed information you can also refer to the patient information leaflet included in your Mounjaro medication box.

What happens when I stop the medication?

Medication alone can help you lose weight, but it will not help you keep it off. That is why we pair medication with ongoing support, to help you make long term changes to your habits that will help you keep the weight off after you stop the medication.

Who is eligible for Mounjaro?

Mounjaro may be an option for you if you are aged between 18-75 years and your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or higher. It is also available if your BMI is 27 or more and you have certain weight-related health conditions. Remember, Mounjaro should be part of a complete plan that includes eating healthily and staying active.

Why choose this approach over diets or exercise alone?

This approach has three main benefits over exercise programmes and diets. Firstly, it’s a complete solution that tackles all aspects that affect your weight: diet, exercise, stress and sleep. Secondly, it is the only non-surgical method clinically proven to reduce hunger and result in significant weight loss.

Thirdly, it is personalised to you and your challenges - With access to Weight Management Specialists, our support programme and weekly check-ins. You will feel supported to create healthy habits that you can stick too, enabling you to keep the weight off long term.

How do exercise and diet fit into the programme?

This programme combines medication with changes to your diet and lifestyle. Our support programme and Weight Management Specialists will work with you to address the core pillars affecting your weight: nutrition, movement, sleep and stress. Making these lifestyle changes will be key to maximising your results and maintaining your weight loss after you come off the medication.

How will this programme benefit my long-term health?

If you are overweight, losing weight can help prevent your risk of many chronic diseases and add years to your life expectancy. It can also alleviate specific conditions such as joint pain and sleep apnoea. To find out what health benefits weight loss could have for you specifically, take our questionnaire.
