What Is Mounjaro Used For?

Mounjaro prescription medication contains tirzepatide - similar to Zepbound - and has traditionally been prescribed to people who need medication to help improve glycemic control in conjunction with diet and exercise in the setting of diabetes but also has been prescribed off label for weight loss. Mounjaro prescription injections belong to a class of drugs known as combination glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) - similar to semaglutide (Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy) - and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) medications. Dual class medications like Mounjaro are sometimes referred to as twincretin medications. Mounjaro prescription medication is thought to help reduce hunger, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucagon levels and assist with controlling blood glucose levels resulting in glucose-lowering effects. Mounjaro medication has been studied in nine clinical trials involving over 7,700 patients to date. Aspects of Mounjaro medication are now being incorporated into experimental drugs such as retatrutide. The active ingredient in Mounjaro was also found to reduce the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes by 94% in some adults.

Mounjaro for Weight Loss

Some people have heard of using Mounjaro medication for weight loss. The company that makes Mounjaro prescription injections, Eli Lilly, has been running studies evaluating the use of this medication for weight, resulting in the FDA approving a medication similar to Mounjaro medication, Zepbound, in November 2023.

Mounjaro injections are typically available as single-dose injection pens in a range of doses, including Mounjaro 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg and 15 mg. Mounjaro medication is generally prescribed to be started at Mounjaro 2.5 mg injected once per week subcutaneously at any time of day. Depending on the clinical response to Mounjaro injections, some medical providers might increase the prescribed Mounjaro dose to Mounjaro 5 mg after four weeks and in 2.5 mg increments after that to a maximum of Mounjaro 15 mg once weekly. Mounjaro injections can generally be injected subcutaneously with or without meals in the abdomen, upper arm, or thigh, rotating sites with each dose. Patients should consult their medical provider for exact Mounjaro dosing, injection, and use instructions.
