What is Mounjaro Injection?
Mounjaro is an FDA-approved weekly injection that helps adults over 18 with type 2 diabetes manage their blood sugar levels effectively, when used alongside a healthy diet and regular exercise.
Mounjaro & Weight Loss
Mounjaro is primarily an FDA-approved medication for managing type 2 diabetes. However, it can also lead to significant weight loss as a side effect in overweight patients.
How does Mounjaro work?
Mounjaro’s dual-agonist approach, activating GLP-1 and GIP receptors, has shown promising results in clinical trials, leading to substantial weight loss. Nonetheless, ongoing research is crucial to explore its potential long-term effects.
Mounjaro works by stimulating insulin production, reducing liver sugar production, and slowing down digestion.
Before using Mounjaro, inform your healthcare provider about all your medical conditions, including if you:
- Have severe stomach issues like gastroparesis or difficulty digesting food
- Have a history of diabetic retinopathy
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant. Mounjaro may harm your unborn baby.
- Are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It’s unknown if Mounjaro passes into breast milk.
- Use oral contraceptives. Mounjaro may reduce their effectiveness. Consider alternative birth control methods during Mounjaro treatment and for 4 weeks after dose increases.
Consult our healthcare provider for guidance on the best way to feed your baby and choose appropriate birth control while using Mounjaro.
