Mounjaro Injections For Weight Loss

Are you struggling with obesity? Do you feel like lifestyle and diet changes aren’t doing much for you? Then Mounjaro (tirzepatide) can be a possible solution for you as it can help patients lose their weight and keep it off.

 

At Weight Loss Clinic Los Angeles, we use Mounjaro injections to help patients lose weight. Find out what Mounjaro is and how it can be an effective tool for managing weight.

 

What is Mounjaro?

 

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an injection approved by the FDA for treating patients with type 2 diabetes. It is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. GLP-1 receptor agonist is a medicine component that mimics glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a hormone in the intestine. It is used for improving blood sugar, i.e., glucose levels in adults with type 2 diabetes, with the right kind of exercise and diet.

 

Is Mounjaro approved for weight loss?

 

Although Mounjaro is not approved by the FDA as a weight loss drug, it is possible that it can cause weight loss. It could be said that FDA may approve this drug for weight loss in the future.

Although Mounjaro hasn’t been approved by the FDA yet, there’s another drug from the same family that has been recently approved for weight management. It’s called Zepbound (Tirzepatide).

 

How effective is Mounjaro for weight loss?

 

Clinical trials suggest that Mounjaro is somewhat effective in causing weight loss in people who take it. A study conducted by Eli Lilly amongst participants achieved a total average weight loss of 26.6% over 84 weeks.

Another Cleveland Clinic study showed that 2500 obese adults taking 5 mg of Mounjaro for 72 weeks lost 15% of their body weight [1].

Mounjaro vs. Ozempic for weight loss

 

Both Mounjaro and Ozempic are primarily approved to treat type 2 diabetes. However, one study compared the effects of Mounjaro and Ozempic for weight loss when used to treat type 2 diabetes. The study shows that people using Mounjaro lost more weight than Ozempic [2].

 

According to an article published by Healthline, the latest clinical trials show patients achieving 26.6% weight loss over 84 weeks with Mounjaro.

 

Who is Mounjaro prescribed for?

 

Mounjaro is prescribed for patients with type 2 diabetes to lower blood sugar levels. It is usually prescribed if you cannot take metformin, another type 2 diabetes treatment, or if other treatments do not control your blood sugar levels.

 

 It can also be used for weight loss for patients with type 2 diabetes as it (Tirzepatide)  delivers results compared to Ozempic.

 

Please note that Mounjaro is not for use in people with type 1 diabetes. It is not known if this medicine can be used in people who have had pancreatitis.

What does Mounjaro cost?

 

The cost of Mounjaro varies depending on the pharmacy and insurance coverage. According to GoodRx, the price can be $1,023 per fill. One fill is four pre-filled pens, and one fill lasts for a month.

This means that a 3-month supply will cost around $3,070 and $12,000 for a year’s supply. You can get discounts from various outlets and stores as well. Also, if you have commercial insurance, you could pay $25 or less for a month’s supply.

 

Is treatment with Mounjaro for weight loss long-term?

 

According to a recent study, taking tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound) for a long time with dietary and lifestyle changes can help in weight loss. Researchers reported that Mounjaro can significantly help in weight reduction in obese people. In a study where more than 2,500 adults with obesity were tested by giving them 5 mg of Mounjaro for 72 weeks. The report shows that 15% of their body weight was lost at an average [3].

In terms of long-term use of Mounjaro for weight loss, another study found that extended treatment with Tirzepatide (Mounjaro and Zepbound) can help people lose even more weight [4]. People who keep taking tirzepatide experience better results both with losing weight and keeping it off compared to those who take it for a limited amount of time.

 

How quickly do you lose weight with Mounjaro?

 

One study suggested that people who kept taking tirzepatide for 72 weeks (a year and a half) lost 15% of their body weight on average. The duration depends on various pointers like age, gender, diet, lifestyle choice, etc.

 

Can you take Mounjaro if you are not diabetic?

 

If you are a non-diabetic obese patient, some doctors may prescribe you Mounjaro off-label. The use of Mounjaro for non-diabetic patients is still under examination and isn’t quite approved by the FDA.So, talk to your doctor first if you want to take Mounjaro for weight loss only.
