How does it work?
Product details
Mounjaro is an injectable weight loss medication containing the active ingredient tirzepatide. It works by activating two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), which help increase hormone levels in the body, making you feel fuller for longer after meals.
Taken once a week, alongside a healthy diet and exercise, Mounjaro has been shown to help people lose around 22.5% of their initial body weight by week 72, at a maximum dose of 15 mg.
Eligibility for Mounjaro for weight loss requires a body mass index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or higher (obese), or at least 27 kg/m² (overweight) with a risk factor or health condition related to weight.

About Cerazette
Always take Cerazette exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Cerazette comes in strips of 28 tablets, each corresponding to a specific day of the week. To help you follow the correct dosage, arrows are printed on the strip.
Here’s how to take Cerazette:
- Start with the tablet that matches the day of the week (e.g., if it’s Monday, take the tablet marked ‘Mon’).
- Take one tablet every day at the same time, continuing until the pack is empty, following the arrows on the strip.
- When the current strip is finished, start a new strip the next day without a break.
When to take Cerazette:
Cerazette should be taken at the same time every day. Choose a convenient time that you can easily remember, and consider setting an alarm or linking it to another daily activity, like brushing your teeth.
How often to take Cerazette:
Take one pill every day for 28 days without any breaks. Start the next pack the day after finishing the current strip, without waiting for a bleed.
How long to take Cerazette:
You should take Cerazette continuously as long as you want to prevent pregnancy. When you're ready to try for a baby, you can stop taking Cerazette at any time. Once you stop, you will no longer be protected from pregnancy.
What to do if you forget to take a pill:
If you’re less than 12 hours late:
- Take the missed pill as soon as you remember.
- Continue taking the next pill at the usual time.
- You’ll still be protected against pregnancy.
If you’re more than 12 hours late:
- You may not be fully protected from pregnancy.
- Take the missed pill as soon as you remember, and continue taking the next pill at the usual time (even if it means taking two pills in one day).
- Use additional contraception (like condoms) for the next 7 days.
- If you’ve had sex in the last 12 hours, you may be at risk of pregnancy and might need emergency contraception.
Mounjaro is one of several weight loss medications available, including both injections and pills. Here's an overview of other options:
Weight Loss Injections
Wegovy
- Active Ingredient: Semaglutide
- How It Works: Like Mounjaro, Wegovy is a once-weekly injection that mimics the GLP-1 hormone, slowing food movement through the digestive system, helping you feel fuller for longer.
- Weight Loss: Can help you lose up to 15% of your body weight within 68 weeks of starting treatment.
Liraglutide (Saxenda)
- Active Ingredient: Liraglutide (generic version of Saxenda)
- How It Works: Liraglutide is a daily injection that helps reduce hunger by affecting the brain's appetite control center.
- Weight Loss: Can lead to an average weight loss of 8% after 56 weeks at the maintenance dose.
Weight Loss Pills
Orlistat
- How It Works: Orlistat, available in both prescription form as Xenical and over-the-counter as Alli, prevents fat absorption by binding to the enzyme lipase. This stops around one-third of dietary fat from being absorbed and helps eliminate it through stool.
- Dosage: Can be taken up to 3 times a day with meals containing fat.
Mysimba
- Active Ingredients: Naltrexone and bupropion
- How It Works: These ingredients target the brain's appetite control centers to reduce hunger.
Alli
- Active Ingredient: Orlistat (60mg)
- How It Works: Alli is a lower-dose, over-the-counter version of Orlistat, working in the same way to block fat absorption.
What is the Difference Between Mounjaro and Wegovy?
Active Ingredients:
- Mounjaro: Contains tirzepatide, a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist.
- Wegovy: Contains semaglutide, which activates only the GLP-1 receptors.
Weight Loss Effectiveness:
- Mounjaro: Can help people lose up to 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks with the highest dose.
- Wegovy: Can help people lose up to 15% of their body weight over 68 weeks with the highest dose.
What is the Difference Between Mounjaro and Ozempic?
Active Ingredients:
- Mounjaro: Contains tirzepatide (GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist).
- Ozempic: Contains semaglutide (GLP-1 receptor agonist only).
Primary Use:
- Mounjaro: Primarily used for weight loss but also helps with blood sugar control.
- Ozempic: Licensed for treating type 2 diabetes and primarily targets blood sugar regulation.
Function:
- Mounjaro: Acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, enhancing appetite regulation and blood sugar control.
- Ozempic: Targets only GLP-1 receptors, aiding in blood sugar management.
Both Mounjaro and Ozempic contain different active ingredients, which impact how they work on your body.

About Mounjaro
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a prescription-only weight loss injection containing the active ingredient tirzepatide. It works by activating two receptors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), which help regulate your appetite. This makes you feel fuller for longer and less hungry, facilitating weight loss.
Mounjaro is injected once a week under the skin, either in the thigh, abdomen, or upper arm. Your doctor will start you on a low dose, gradually increasing it every 4 weeks until the maintenance dose is reached.
How does Mounjaro work?
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, mimics the effects of GLP-1 and GIP, two hormones released by your gut after eating. It works by:
- Reducing food intake
- Making you feel fuller for longer
- Slowing down the passage of food through your stomach
Mounjaro also helps people with type 2 diabetes manage high blood sugar by stimulating insulin release from the pancreas.
How long does Mounjaro take to work?
Mounjaro starts to work within a few hours of your first injection, but it may take several weeks to notice its full effects. The dosage will gradually increase to minimize side effects.
If you haven’t lost at least 5% of your initial body weight after 6 months, your doctor may recommend stopping the treatment, as it may not be effective for you.
How effective is Mounjaro?
Clinical trials show that Mounjaro helps people lose up to 22.5% of their initial body weight within 72 weeks, when using the highest maintenance dose of 15mg per week. It works best when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How do I use a Mounjaro pen?
The Mounjaro KwikPen is a disposable, pre-filled injection pen that contains 4 doses (one for each week). After using all doses, you dispose of the pen safely. You can inject Mounjaro yourself or have someone trained to help you.
Steps to prepare and inject Mounjaro:
Prepare the pen:
- Wash your hands thoroughly.
- Inspect the pen and make sure it is undamaged, the medication is clear and not expired.
- Attach a new needle and remove the inner and outer needle shields.
- Prime the pen by turning the dose knob until 2 clicks are heard, then expel a small amount of medication to remove air bubbles.
Inject Mounjaro:
- Choose your injection site: thigh, abdomen, or upper arm.
- Turn the dose knob until the -1 icon appears in the dose window.
- Insert the needle into your skin and press the dose knob to inject.
- Hold the dose knob for 5 seconds after injection to ensure the full dose is administered.
After injection:
- If there’s blood at the injection site, press gently with gauze or a cotton ball.
- Safely dispose of the needle and cap the pen.
Where to inject Mounjaro:
- The injection can be done in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate the site weekly to prevent bruising or irritation.
- Maintain at least 5 cm between the navel and previous injection sites in the abdomen.
By following these steps, you can effectively use Mounjaro to support your weight loss goals.

Mounjaro is available in the following doses:
- 2.5mg
- 5mg
- 7.5mg
- 10mg
- 12.5mg

Starting Dose and Dosage Adjustments:
When starting Mounjaro, you will begin with a dose of 2.5mg per week for the first 4 weeks. If the medication is effective, your dose will be increased to 5mg per week for the next 4 weeks.
Depending on how your body responds to the treatment and your weight loss progress, you may continue at the 5mg dose or increase by 2.5mg every 4 weeks. The maximum recommended maintenance dose is 15mg per week.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Mounjaro?
- If it’s been 4 days or less since your last injection, take the missed dose as soon as you remember, then continue with your next scheduled dose as usual.
- If it’s been more than 4 days since your last injection, skip the missed dose and proceed with your next scheduled dose as usual.
Do not inject a double dose to make up for a missed dose. Always ensure there is at least a 3-day gap between injections.
Mounjaro Dosage Schedule:
The dosage schedule will gradually increase from 2.5mg to 15mg, based on your response to the treatment.
