What is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?

Mounjaro is an innovative medication that effectively manages type II diabetes and obesity. It activates GIP and GLP-1 receptors as a dual receptor agonist, unlike other treatments that solely target GLP-1, helping patients achieve weight loss more rapidly and effortlessly.

How Does Mounjaro Differ from Ozempic/Wegovy?

Mounjaro
  • Mechanism: Dual agonist that stimulates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
  • Efficacy: Clinical studies show patients losing 15-22% of their body weight, surpassing the results typically seen with GLP-1 agonists alone.
Ozempic/Wegovy
  • Mechanism: GLP-1 agonist that targets only the GLP-1 receptor.
  • Efficacy:
    • Wegovy, approved for weight loss, has shown average weight reduction of up to 14.9%.
    • Ozempic, primarily for type 2 diabetes, often results in 5–10% weight loss.
With its dual action, Mounjaro delivers enhanced metabolic benefits and greater weight loss potential, while Ozempic and Wegovy remain a reliable option for managing blood sugar and supporting weight loss.

In your first consultation, we will carefully review your medical history to identify the treatment that’s right for you.

Is Mounjaro FDA Approved?

Yes, Mounjaro was FDA-approved in May 2022 for glycemic control in patients with type II diabetes. Later, in November 2023, Zepbound gained approval for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight who also have at least one weight-related comorbidity.

Potential Side Effects of Mounjaro

Commonly reported side effects of Mounjaro include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation, with rare instances of serious allergic reactions. Typically, these side effects are mild and improve over time, while more serious effects are relatively uncommon.

Dr. Michael Rankin will review your medical history in detail, address any pre-existing conditions, and discuss potential side effects during your consultation to help determine the best course of action.

Know Your Medical History Before Starting Mounjaro

At Lifestyle Med Spa, we are dedicated to your health and safety. Before initiating Mounjaro for weight loss, we conduct an in-depth evaluation of your medical history, which includes personal and family history of thyroid cancer, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, and kidney issues. By moving beyond just your BMI, we ensure a tailored approach that respects your unique health profile, helping you achieve sustainable weight loss and the best possible results.

Lifestyle Med Spa - Our Story

As Chief of Operations, Dr. Kim Barrus experienced significant weight loss using medical weight loss program (Ozempic/Wegovy), shedding 22 pounds over a four-month period. His results fueled a passion for researching similar treatments, which led to the incorporation of Mounjaro at Lifestyle Medical Spa.
