What makes Mounjaro different from other weight loss injections?
Mounjaro is different from other weight loss injections because it works by targeting two key hormones that control appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel fuller for longer and supporting greater weight loss. Its active ingredient, tirzepatide, mimics both GLP-1 and GIP hormones, whereas most other injections only target one hormone. Clinical studies have shown that Mounjaro can lead to more significant weight loss compared to other treatments, with weight reductions of up to 22% over 72 weeks, even in people without diabetes.
