Who qualifies for Mounjaro

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an effective medication for weight management, but it's not for everyone. Our EU-licensed doctors carefully review each patient's medical history to determine appropriateness. Generally, Mounjaro is considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbidity such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus, or obstructive sleep apnoea. There are specific contraindications, including a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2), and severe allergic reactions to tirzepatide or any of the excipients. Your doctor will discuss these and other factors during your online consultation to ensure Mounjaro is right for you.

What Mounjaro actually does (and doesn't do)

Mounjaro, containing tirzepatide, is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means it mimics two natural gut hormones that play a role in appetite and blood sugar regulation. It helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces food cravings, and slows gastric emptying, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss. It also helps improve blood sugar control. While Mounjaro is highly effective, it's not a magic bullet. It works best when combined with lifestyle changes, including a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. Weight loss is gradual, typically occurring over several months, and individual results vary. It's a tool to support your weight management journey, not a standalone solution.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Mounjaro can cause side effects. Common side effects often include gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, especially when starting treatment or increasing the dose. These are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve over time. More serious but rare side effects can include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, kidney problems, and severe allergic reactions. It's crucial to discuss any concerning symptoms with your doctor immediately. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat, difficulty breathing), seek urgent medical attention. Your Hi-Doctor will guide you on managing side effects and when it might be necessary to adjust or discontinue treatment.
