What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro® is a prescription medication designed to help individuals achieve their weight loss goals. It works by targeting two hormones in the body: glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). By activating these receptors, Mounjaro® helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduces appetite and promotes feelings of fullness, leading to significant weight loss.
How is Mounjaro® different from Ozempic®?
Mounjaro® is the first dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist which means it works on the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors and the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. In clinical trials, weight loss achieved with Mounjaro® was much more than Mounjaro® like compounds.
