Mounjaro
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an innovative medication initially developed to help manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes, but it’s shown considerable promise as a weight loss aid. Mounjaro works by mimicking the effects of two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which play key roles in regulating appetite, insulin release, and metabolic function. By stimulating these pathways, Mounjaro helps reduce hunger, slow down digestion, and promote a feeling of fullness, making it easier for individuals to manage portion sizes and reduce calorie intake.
In clinical trials, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) has demonstrated significant weight loss outcomes for individuals with obesity or overweight. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, participants without diabetes who received Mounjaro experienced an average weight reduction of 15% with a 5 mg dose, 19.5% with a 10 mg dose, and 20.9% with a 15 mg dose over 72 weeks.
Another study reported that participants achieved up to 26% weight loss when Mounjaro was combined with lifestyle interventions over 84 weeks.
Most people begin to see improvements in blood sugar control and notice weight loss within 2–4 weeks of starting Mounjaro. However, full benefits may take up to 3 months to become fully apparent.
