Results are usually seen immediately, within first month, as hunger is suppressed by the medication

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a weekly self-injectable pen used for weight loss treatment. It is used alongside a low-calorie diet and increased exercise to aid weight loss.

Both are identical medications with the same active ingredient, tirzepatide, and function similarly. The difference lies in their names: Zepbound is the US name for the weight loss medication, whereas in the UK, it’s known as Mounjaro. Zepbound is not licensed in the UK.

The active ingredient, tirzepatide, targets two hormonal receptors: GLP-1 and GIP. GLP-1 helps control blood sugar levels, reduces hunger, and slows stomach emptying. GIP enhances the effects of GLP-1, further suppressing appetite and improving sugar control. By mimicking these hormones, Mounjaro has greater weight loss potential compared to medicines working on GLP-1 alone. This is seen in clinical trials in which patients who had taken Mounjaro for 72 weeks lost 20.9% of mean body weight whereas those on Semaglutide only had lost 15%.

Yes, Mounjaro was approved for weight loss in the UK by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in November 2023

The duration of Mounjaro treatment for weight loss varies by individual and should be determined by ongoing medical evaluation by your doctor and the patient’s response to the medication. Long-term use is feasible and often necessary for maintaining weight loss.

Weight regain is a common concern after stopping weight loss medications like Mounjaro. While the risk of regaining weight exists, it can be mitigated through sustained lifestyle changes, behavioural support, and medical monitoring. It is essential to approach weight management as a long-term commitment to healthy living rather than relying solely on medication.

Non-drug alternatives
