Mounjaro is a once-weekly injectable weight loss medication that helps you lose weight by curbing appetite and reducing cravings, used alongside a healthy diet and increased activity.
Dual-action GLP-1 and GIP treatment
Once-weekly injection — no daily routine
Up to 20% average weight loss in trials
UK clinical support with monthly check-ins
The active ingredient in Mounjaro is tirzepatide, which stimulates two naturally occurring hormone receptors: GLP-1 and GIP. Other weight-loss injections such as Wegovy work on GLP-1 alone, whereas Mounjaro also engages GIP to increase weight-loss potential.
GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar and appetite and slows stomach emptying to keep you fuller for longer. GIP regulates energy balance in the brain and fat cells, enhancing the appetite-suppressing effect.

Mounjaro's active ingredient, tirzepatide, stimulates two hormone receptors — GLP-1 and GIP. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar and appetite and slows stomach emptying; GIP enhances that effect, which is why Mounjaro has shown greater weight loss than GLP-1-only treatments.
Before first use, store Mounjaro in a fridge (2–8°C) and do not freeze. Once in use, it can be kept at room temperature (below 30°C) for up to 30 days. Keep the cap on to protect it from light.
Your order includes the pre-filled KwikPen(s), the needles required for administration, and a sharps bin for safe disposal, delivered temperature-controlled.
You take Mounjaro once a week, on the same day, injected under the skin of your stomach, thigh or upper arm using the pre-filled KwikPen (which holds four doses, lasting four weeks).
The starting dose is 2.5mg weekly for four weeks, increasing to 5mg for the next four weeks, then adjusted monthly up to a maximum of 15mg. Not everyone needs the higher doses.

Mounjaro's active ingredient, tirzepatide, engages two appetite hormones rather than one — which is why it has shown greater average weight loss than GLP-1-only treatments in trials.
By week 72, trials showed weight loss of around 15% at 5mg, 19.5% at 10mg and 20.9% at 15mg, alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased activity.
Mounjaro can be prescribed for up to two years and works best as part of sustained lifestyle change, rather than as a quick fix.

Mounjaro starts working straight away, but it may take a few weeks to notice an effect on appetite. It's a long-term treatment — most people see results from around 6 months, with maximum weight loss typically around the 12–18 month mark.
You'll start on 2.5mg and build up over time to a maximum of 15mg — though not everyone needs the higher doses. Trials showed around 15% weight loss at 5mg, 19.5% at 10mg and 20.9% at 15mg by week 72.
Common side effects include nausea, stomach upsets, constipation and tiredness, usually mild and settling within the first few weeks. Rarer effects include pancreatitis and allergic reactions — stop and seek medical help if these occur.
If you're on another GLP-1 medication such as Wegovy, you'll usually need a washout period of up to 4 weeks before switching so it clears your system. Our clinical team will assess whether Mounjaro is right for you during your consultation.
Wegovy's active ingredient, semaglutide, works on the GLP-1 receptor alone. Mounjaro's tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which has been shown to have greater weight loss potential.
