View compareWhat is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (also known as Zepbound in the US), is a new prescription treatment that, when combined with a calorie-reduced diet and regular exercise, can support patients to lose weight.
Initially for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, Mounjaro has recently gained approval from the Medicines and Health Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for weight loss and weight management in adults aged 18 and over.

Who can and cannot use Mounjaro?
Mounjaro can be used by adult patients with a BMI of 30kg/m² or more (indicative of obesity), as well as those with a BMI between 27-30kg/m² (considered overweight) who also have weight-related health problems such as prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart problems.
You should not use Mounjaro if you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the injection, especially tirzepatide. Mounjaro is also unsuitable for anyone under the age of 18.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, Mounjaro is not recommended.
If you are being treated for diabetes, you should speak to your doctor about using Mounjaro as it can cause low blood sugar when used with other medicines for type 2 diabetes, such as insulin.
Speak to your doctor before using Mounjaro if you have:
-
an existing health condition that affects the emptying of your stomach, such as severe gastroparesis
-
an eye condition, such as diabetic retinopathy
-
ever had pancreatitis, which is an inflammation of the pancreas
Mounjaro may interact with other medications, so speak to your doctor if you take any prescription or over-the-counter medications, or herbal remedies.
