What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is the brand name for Tirzepatide, a prescription medication originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, which help regulate blood sugar and appetite. Recently, Mounjaro has gained attention as an effective weight loss treatment, helping patients achieve significant and sustained weight reduction when used under medical supervision. Approved by UK health authorities, it is prescribed to adults with obesity or overweight who have weight-related health conditions.

- How does Mounjaro help you lose weight?
Mounjaro targets two key hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP), helping to reduce appetite, increase satiety, and slow digestion. This makes it easier to control portion sizes and reduce calorie intake naturally.
- How quickly can I lose weight with Mounjaro?
Most users begin to notice weight loss within a few weeks, with more visible changes appearing after 8–12 weeks. Results vary depending on lifestyle, adherence, and individual metabolic response.
- Can I stop taking Mounjaro once I reach my goal weight?
You should only stop taking Mounjaro after discussing it with your doctor. Stopping abruptly may lead to weight regain. A gradual maintenance plan and healthy lifestyle are key to long-term success.
- Are there any side effects with Mounjaro?
Some users may experience mild side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation, especially at the start of treatment. These typically subside as your body adjusts. Always report severe or persistent symptoms to your clinician.
- Who can take Mounjaro for weight loss?
Adults with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27+ with associated health conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes), may be eligible. A professional consultation is required to confirm suitability.
- Do I need to diet and exercise while taking Mounjaro?
Yes. Mounjaro is most effective when combined with a healthy diet and regular physical activity. While the medication helps control appetite, sustainable weight loss still requires lifestyle changes.
- Is weight loss different for men and women?
Yes, weight loss rates can vary due to differences in hormones, metabolism, and body composition. However, both men and women can benefit from prescription treatments like Mounjaro when paired with healthy habits.
- How much weight loss is considered healthy per week?
A safe and sustainable rate of weight loss is typically 1 to 2 pounds (0.5 to 1 kg) per week. Faster results can happen early on, especially with medication, but long-term success comes from gradual progress.
- Can weight loss improve other health conditions?
Absolutely. Losing excess weight can improve or even reverse conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, joint pain, and high cholesterol, improving overall quality of life.
