Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection that is FDA approved for decreasing blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes. It should be used alongside diet and exercise for optimal results.
Benefits of Mounjaro: Clinical trials have shown that Mounjaro can aid in weight loss, although it is not currently an FDA approved weight loss drug.
Diabetes: This is a long-term condition that leads to high blood sugar levels, which can cause serious health issues such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.
How It Works: Mounjaro reduces blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and lowering the amount of sugar produced by the liver. It also slows down the rate at which food passes through the body, helping you feel full longer.
Additional Information: Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is the first dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, meaning it works on insulinotropic receptors. It can be used as a standalone treatment or with other diabetes medications.
Warnings: Mounjaro is not for use in individuals with type 1 diabetes or those with a history of pancreatitis.
