What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved, once-weekly injection for adults with type 2 diabetes, used together with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar.
Is Mounjaro approved for weight loss?
Mounjaro is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. Its active ingredient, tirzepatide, is FDA-approved for weight management under the brand name Zepbound®. A licensed provider reviews your health history and goals to recommend the right option for you.
Mounjaro vs. Zepbound: what is the difference?
Both contain tirzepatide, are made by Eli Lilly and use the same once-weekly dosing from 2.5 mg up to 15 mg. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound is approved for weight management.
How do I use Mounjaro?
Inject one dose under the skin of your stomach, thigh or upper arm once a week, on the same day each week. You can take it at any time of day, with or without meals.
How does my dose change over time?
Treatment starts at 2.5 mg once weekly. After 4 weeks the dose goes up to 5 mg. Your provider may then increase it by 2.5 mg at least 4 weeks apart, up to a maximum of 15 mg once weekly.
What if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) after the missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regular day.
How much weight can tirzepatide help you lose?
In a 72-week clinical trial of tirzepatide for weight management, adults without diabetes taking 15 mg lost an average of 20.9% of their body weight, compared with 3.1% on placebo. Results vary from person to person.
What are the most common side effects?
The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion and stomach pain. Let your provider know if side effects are severe or do not go away.
Who should not use Mounjaro?
Do not use Mounjaro if you or a family member has had medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), or if you have had a serious allergic reaction to tirzepatide.
Does Mounjaro affect birth control pills?
Yes, it can. If you use birth control pills, switch to a non-oral method or add a backup method, such as condoms, for 4 weeks after starting Mounjaro and for 4 weeks after each dose increase.
