What is Mounjaro®(tirzepatide) for?

Mounjaro belongs to a class of medications called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs). It works by mimicking the action of a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in the body. GLP-1 helps regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating the release of insulin, reducing the production of glucose in the liver, and slowing down the emptying of the stomach. By activating GLP-1 receptors, Mounjaro helps to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.

In addition to its use in managing type 2 diabetes, Mounjaro has also been shown to be useful for weight loss. Clinical trials for a 15 mg dose of Mounjaro showed patients lost a mean of 20.9% of their body weight compared to 3.1%.

How does Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) work?

Mounjaro works by activating the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which are natural incretin hormones that help regulate blood sugar levels [2]. This activation leads to increased insulin secretion, decreased glucagon production, and slowing of the rate food passes through the body, making you feel full longer.
