What is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?

A dual receptor agonist, Mounjaro treats type II diabetes and obesity by targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. This dual action, unlike medications focusing only on the GLP-1 receptor, allows for faster and easier weight loss outcomes.

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.

Your initial consultation will include a complete medical evaluation to determine the most suitable treatment for your health goals.

Is Mounjaro FDA Approved?

Yes, in May 2022, the FDA approved Mounjaro for glycemic control in type II diabetes. Similarly, in November 2023, the FDA approved Zepbound for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight and one or more weight-related comorbidities.

Potential Side Effects of Mounjaro

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach discomfort, and constipation are common side effects associated with Mounjaro, while serious allergic reactions, though possible, are exceedingly rare. Most side effects are mild and tend to resolve over time, with severe side effects occurring infrequently.

Dr. Michael Rankin will evaluate your medical history, discuss any pre-existing health conditions, and explain the potential side effects during your consultation to ensure a safe and personalized treatment plan.

Know Your Medical History Before Starting Mounjaro

At Lifestyle Med Spa, ensuring your safety and success is our priority. Before starting Mounjaro for weight loss, we perform a detailed review of your medical history. This involves not only assessing your body mass index (BMI) but also examining any personal or family history of thyroid cancer, hypertension, hypoglycemia, or kidney issues. By gaining a full understanding of your health profile, we can create a personalized and effective plan for achieving lasting weight management and optimal health outcomes.
