Mounjaro

Mounjaro

Mounjaro, a type 2 diabetes treatment, has recently received attention online because of its weight loss properties. It works by reducing high blood sugar (glucose) levels in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, but it has been shown to cause weight loss. It is an injectable medication that contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. 

Mounjaro is not currently licensed for weight loss, but may soon be approved for weight loss, similar to the recent approval of Wegovy. Below we discuss Mounjaro in more detail and whether it is likely to become available in the UK for weight loss.
