How does Mounjaro work?
Mounjaro activates the actions of 2 natural substances in your body, called glucose-dependent insulinotrophic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This then slows down your stomach emptying making you feel fuller for longer. Mounjaro also regulates fat utilisation for energy.
Directions:
Mounjaro should be injected ONCE weekly. Mounjaro is injected under the skin (subcutaneous injection) of your stomach area (abdomen) or upper leg (thigh) or upper arm. It should be used only alongside a balanced diet which is rich in fruit and vegetables with no more than 30% of your calories coming from fat. It is most effective when used in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and dietary change like increased exercise and a commitment to drinking at least 6-8 glasses of water daily.
The starting dose for Mounjaro is 2.5mg. If tolerated it is advised to increase the dose every four weeks. The dose can be maintained at 5mg, 10mg or 15mg. Your trained Healthcare professional at Peak Pharmacy will advise you about your dosage regime.
Injecting medications can seem challenging to people who have not done this before. The Mounjaro Kwikpen is designed to be easy for patients to use. Each Mounjaro® pack consists of 1 pre-filled Mounjaro Kwikpen® pen which contains 4 of your prescribed doses of Mounjaro®, to be used once a week for 4 weeks and the Patient Information Leaflet. You will also be supplied with 5 disposable needles, alcohol swabs and a sharps bin for safe disposal of the needles.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Is Mounjaro suitable for me?
Mounjaro is licensed for weight loss for patients whose BMI (Body Mass Index) is over 30 or who have a BMI of 27 and have a weight-related health condition such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, pre-diabetes or heart problems. Your BMI is a measure that considers both your height and weight that we can calculate on your behalf.
How long will Mounjaro take to work?
Results are always individual, but you can expect to lose 4% of your body weight in the first 4 weeks.
We will always review whether Mounjaro is right for you if you have not lost at least 5% of your initial weight after 6 months of Wegovy.
Having said that according to studies the vast majority of patients achieve meaningful weight loss when using this alongside a balanced diet and exercise. One study showed that over 72 weeks of use patients taking Mounjaro lost 22.5 % of their body weight compared to just 2.4% in a group only using a placebo (fake medication).
Can I change the day or time I take Mounjaro?
Only take Mounjaro once a week. If you wish to change the day you take Wegovy you can change the day it is given as long as the previous dose was given three or more days ago.
Must I take Mounjaro with food?
Mounjaro can be taken any time of the day and does not need to be taken with food.
