For new patients, the journey typically begins with a 2.5mg dosage, advancing to 5mg after 4 weeks. From there, we collaborate to assess whether adjustments to higher doses, ranging from 7.5mg to 15mg, are necessary. With each dosage change, a 4-week period ensures a smooth transition.
Mounjaro weight loss injections are powered by Tirzepatide, a potent compound that mimics the actions of two pivotal hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).
How does Mounjaro work?
These hormones play a crucial role in regulating digestion by slowing down the process, allowing food to remain in the digestive system longer. Additionally, they act as natural appetite suppressants, prolonging the feeling of fullness and naturally reducing food intake
Clinical studies have demonstrated the impressive efficacy of Mounjaro in aiding weight loss. After 9 months of consistent usage, patients experienced a remarkable 15% reduction in weight.
