Who qualifies for Mounjaro

To qualify for a Mounjaro prescription online, an EU-licensed doctor will assess your medical history and current health status. Generally, Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obesity), or a BMI of 27 kg/m² to <30 kg/m² (overweight) who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or high cholesterol. The doctor will look for specific criteria, including:

• Your current BMI and overall health.
• Absence of contraindications, such as a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2.
• No history of pancreatitis.
• Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.

The doctor's review ensures that Mounjaro is a safe and effective treatment option for your individual needs. This is part of our commitment to responsible telemedicine and ensuring patient safety.

What Mounjaro actually does (and doesn't do)

Mounjaro, containing the active ingredient tirzepatide, is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. This means it mimics two natural gut hormones, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). These hormones work together to:

• Regulate blood sugar: They stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high and reduce sugar production by the liver.
• Slow gastric emptying: Food stays in your stomach longer, helping you feel fuller for extended periods.
• Reduce appetite: Mounjaro acts on your brain to decrease hunger and food cravings, leading to reduced calorie intake.

Patients typically experience gradual and sustained weight loss over several months, not overnight. While Mounjaro can be a powerful tool, it does not replace the need for lifestyle changes. It works best when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It's not a magic bullet; consistent adherence to the treatment plan and healthy habits are crucial for long-term success. This is a Mounjaro weekly injection that supports your weight management journey.

Side effects and when to stop

Like all medications, Mounjaro can cause side effects. Most commonly, these are gastrointestinal and tend to be mild to moderate, improving as your body adjusts to the medication. Common side effects include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Constipation
• Vomiting
• Abdominal pain

More serious, though rare, side effects can include pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas), gallbladder problems, or severe allergic reactions. It is crucial to contact a doctor immediately if you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing). Always inform your EU-licensed doctor of any concerning symptoms. If side effects become unmanageable or severe, the doctor will advise you on whether to stop the medication.
