You will be required to answer a few short questions to ensure this medicine is suitable for you.

Mounjaro is a medicine that contains an active substance called tirzepatide.

Mounjaro is also used for weight loss and weight maintenance in adults. Mounjaro primarily works by regulating your appetite, giving you a sense of satiety (‘fullness’), making you feel less hungry and experience less food cravings. This will help you eat less food and reduce your body weight.

Mounjaro is only available to adults who have:

  • a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 30 or above
  • a BMI of 27 with like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnoea.

Before taking Mounjaro, you should discuss the benefits, limitations and side effects of the medicine with your doctor.

Our pharmacists will do a quick clinical assessment before you start taking Mounjaro to make sure it’s right for you.

How to use

The starting dose is 2.5 mg once a week for four weeks. After four weeks your doctor will increase your dose to 5 mg once a week.

  • Your doctor may increase your dose by 2.5 mg increments to 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg or 15 mg once a week if you need it. In each case your doctor will tell you to stay on a particular dose for at least 4 weeks before going to a higher dose.
  • Do not change your dose unless your doctor has told you to.
  • Each pen contains one dose of Mounjaro either 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg.
