What is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?

Mounjaro is a medication used for treating type II diabetes and obesity. It’s a dual receptor agonist, which activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, unlike other medications that target only the GLP-1 receptor. This dual action helps people lose weight faster and more easily.

How Does Mounjaro (GLP-1/GIP) Differ from GLP-1 Brands (Ozempic/Wegovy)?

Mounjaro (GLP-1/GIP)

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 (GLP-1)

Mechanism: GLP-1 agonist that targets only the GLP-1 receptor.

Efficacy: Clinical trials show an average weight loss of 14.9%.

Mounjaro’s dual action offers broader metabolic benefits and potentially greater weight loss, while GLP-1 brands remain a strong option for glucose control and weight management.

During your initial consultation, we will perform a thorough medical review to determine the most suitable treatment for you.

Mounjaro Clinical Trial Weight Loss Results

Multiple clinical trials have consistently shown that Mounjaro leads to substantial weight reduction, typically ranging from 15-26%, depending on the dosage and trial specifics.

Compared to placebo groups, Mounjaro’s weight loss results were significantly superior, highlighting its effectiveness in managing obesity and overweight conditions.

Is Mounjaro FDA Approved?

Yes, the FDA approved Mounjaro in May 2022 for glycemic control in type II diabetes. In November 2023, Zepbound was approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.

Potential Side Effects of Mounjaro

Common side effects of Mounjaro include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. Serious allergic reactions are also possible, but exceedingly rare. Typical side effects are generally mild and tend to improve over time, while serious side effects are less common.

During your consultation, Dr. Michael Rankin will discuss any pre-existing conditions and review potential side effects.

Know Your Medical History Before Starting Mounjaro

At Lifestyle Med Spa, we prioritize your safety and well-being by thoroughly reviewing your medical history before starting Mounjaro for weight loss. More than simply measuring your body mass index (BMI), we review personal or family history for thyroid cancer, high blood pressure, low blood sugar, and kidney problems. This allows us to understand how your unique health profile will interact with Mounjaro, so we can create a tailored plan for sustainable weight management and optimal results.

Lifestyle Med Spa - Our Story
