Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include:

extreme thirst

frequent urination

always feeling hungry

unexpected weight loss

fatigue, weakness or tiredness

blurred vision

sores that heal slowly

frequent infections

numbness or tingling in the hands or feet

areas of darkened skin, usually in the armpits and neck

Mounjaro injection is approved as a once-weekly injectin to treat high blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, used alongside diet and exercise. With type 2 diabetes, your body does not use your blood sugar properly leading to high levels in your circulation. High blood sugars can lead to health complications over time, such as nervous system, immune and heart conditions.

When was Mounjaro approved by the FDA?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) injection was approved by the FDA in May 2022. It is used to improve blood sugar (glucose) control in adults with type 2 diabetes. You should use it with a diet and exercise plan as recommended by your doctor. It is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) of your stomach (abdomen), thigh, or upper arm one time per week, at any time of the day.

What side effects should I expect with Mounjaro?

Is Saxenda better at night or morning?

What time of the day should I use my Saxenda medication? Saxenda can be taken at any time of the day at a time that is convenient for you. For the best results stick to the same time each day.

"Excellent and impressive service. I’m a 1st time client and just wanted to say a massive ‘thank you’ to PrivateDoc for their wonderful, speedy, and discreet service. This is what I found: I completed the detailed online consultation Wednesday 17th June evening. This was reviewed & approved by a Doctor (22.39) same evening. I’ve been updated via email at each stage of the process, from initially advising that I would not be charged if the Doctor did not approve my prescription / another email advising exactly when my consultation had been reviewed & approved by a Doctor, through to advising that my prescription had been dispatched. I even got a text message informing me of my delivery time slot (14.18-15.18) on Friday 19th June along with the DHL delivery person’s name. I am really pleased with the way my prescription (for Saxenda) was packaged: well sealed/ wrapped in “Smart Insulation” which is 100% Pure Wool & is compostable & biodegradable or can be returned via Woolcool #letsboxclever. There was even suggestions on the pack for alternate uses of the wool-clever & useful👍 But I’m particularly impressed with the two frozen gel packs that enabled the product to arrive at the correct temperature & the detailed instructions for use, storage, side effects, & FAQs that were printed in plain legible English. Also contact information for their Customer Service team who will arrange for a member of their clinical team to contact you to discuss & offer advice on side effects and any other concerns: Monday-Friday, 09.30am-5pm. 100% recommendation from me and I will be recommending this company to everyone I can. Thank you for a truly great first experience with PrivateDoc’s excellent service⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "
