WHAT IS MOUNJARO? HOW DOES IT WORK?

Mounjaro builds on the work of semaglutide, which is a medication that boosts levels of glucagon-like-peptide (GLP-1) in the body. Like semaglutide, it targets the GLP-1 receptor to boost GLP levels. But it also targets a second receptor, GIP (glucose dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). GIP is another hormone released into the digestive tract after we eat, and it appears to regulate weight through receptors in the brain and fat cells. More importantly, GLP-1 and GIP are synergistic and enhance each other’s effects. By combining the action of both hormone receptors, Mounjaro leads to more weight loss overall. Mounjaro comes in single-use, pre-filled pens. Each pen is 1 dose. To use the pen, simply remove the cap, turn to unlock the pen, and press the pen firmly against the skin. Press the pen button until a click is heard. The medication will be delivered subcutaneously. A second click will be heard when the medication is fully delivered. Most patients inject the medication in the upper arm, belly, or thigh.

HOW OFTEN DO I TAKE THE MEDICATION?

Once per week. Choose a day that is convenient for you, and set a reminder so that you don’t forget! The starting dose is 2.5 mg, which is taken once weekly for a month. The dose can then be increased to 5 mg, also taken for a month. The dose can be further increased by 2.5 mg every month, up to a maximum dose of 15 mg. This process can take up to 20 weeks.

HOW LONG DO I STAY ON THE MEDICATION?

Mounjaro is considered a long-term medication. If you are tolerating it well, and it is helping you to lose weight, it is recommended to continue the medication.
