How does Mounjaro work for weight loss?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works by mimicking two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones help control appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve blood sugar levels. Clinical studies show people can lose up to 22.5% of their body weight when combined with diet and exercise.

Who is eligible for Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is typically prescribed to adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or 27 and above if you have a weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes. Our pharmacists will review your full medical history during the assessment to confirm your eligibility.

How quickly will I see results?

Most patients begin to notice appetite changes within the first week. Visible weight loss is usually apparent within the first month, with the most significant results seen from months three to six as the dose is gradually increased. Individual results vary based on starting weight, diet, and activity levels.

What are the common Mounjaro side effects, and how long do they last?

The most common Mounjaro side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, particularly when starting or increasing your dose. Mounjaro side effects typically ease within one to two weeks of each dose change. Some people also experience sulphur burps, headaches, or fatigue. Our clinical team can advise on how to manage any symptoms you experience.

What is the Mounjaro dosing schedule?

The Mounjaro dosing schedule starts at 2.5mg once weekly for the first four weeks, increasing in 2.5mg increments every four weeks up to a maximum of 15mg. Your pharmacist will guide when to increase your dose based on your progress and tolerance. Not everyone needs to reach the highest dose to see excellent results.

How much weight can you lose in a month on Mounjaro?

Most people lose between 1 to 2kg per month in the early stages, with results accelerating as the Mounjaro dose increases. In clinical trials, tirzepatide average weight loss per week was around 0.5kg at higher doses. How much weight you lose in a month depends on your starting weight, diet, and activity levels.

How do you inject Mounjaro, and what are the best injection sites?

Mounjaro is injected once weekly using a pre-filled auto-injector pen. The recommended Mounjaro injection sites are the abdomen, upper thigh, or upper arm. Rotate injection sites each week to avoid irritation. Full Mounjaro injection instructions are included with every order, and our clinical team is available if you need guidance.

Does Mounjaro need to be refrigerated?

Yes, Mounjaro should be stored in the fridge between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius. It can be kept at room temperature below 30 degrees for up to 21 days if needed. Do not freeze Mounjaro or expose it to direct sunlight, and discard the pen if it has been unrefrigerated for longer than 21 days.

Why do my burps taste like eggs on Mounjaro?

Sulphur burps where burps taste or smell like eggs are a known side effect of Mounjaro. They occur because the medication slows digestion, allowing sulphur-containing gases to build up. Egg burps are usually temporary and improve as your body adjusts. Eating smaller meals and avoiding high-sulphur foods like eggs, broccoli, and garlic can help reduce them.

Mounjaro vs Wegovy: what is the difference?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) targets two hormones GLP-1 and GIP while Wegovy (semaglutide) targets GLP-1 only. Clinical trials suggest Mounjaro produces greater average weight loss than Wegovy. Both have similar side effect profiles. The Mounjaro dosing schedule runs from 2.5mg to 15mg, while Wegovy dosing runs from 0.25mg to 2.4mg. Our pharmacists can advise which is more suitable for you.

Can I drink alcohol on Mounjaro?

Mounjaro and alcohol can be combined in moderation, but alcohol can worsen nausea and digestive side effects and may slow your weight loss progress. Heavy or frequent drinking is not recommended while on any weight loss medication. Speak to our pharmacist team if you have any concerns.

How long does it take for tirzepatide to suppress appetite?

Most people begin to notice appetite suppression within the first one to two weeks of starting Mounjaro. The effect typically strengthens as the dose increases. Some patients report notably reduced hunger by week four. If your appetite has not changed after the first few weeks, our pharmacist team can help assess your progress.
