Mounjaro

Lipotropic injections combine vitamins and nutrients to support fat loss with healthy lifestyle changes. Mounjaro is an FDA-approved, dual-targeted weight loss injection that decreases food intake, regulates energy expenditure, and significantly impacts metabolic dysregulation.

Is Mounjaro Right for Me?

Mounjaro may be prescribed off-label for weight loss in adults with or without type 2 diabetes. To determine if you are a good candidate for Mounjaro, consider the following requirements:

Obesity, which is a BMI of 30 or greater
Overweight (BMI of 27 or greater) with at least one health condition related to weight, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea

What Are the Benefits?

Decreasing food intake and slowing down how fast food travels through your digestive tract helps you feel fuller for a more extended period and reduces how much food you eat
Increasing GIP, which boosts your energy expenditure and results in more significant positive effects on blood glucose and body weight
Improving how you respond to the insulin your body releases from your pancreas by losing weight, which helps lower your blood sugar levels

How Does it Work?

Mounjaro has shown impressive results during trials with individuals who are overweight or obese, including the following findings:

Participants dropped between 5% and 22.5% of their total body weight, compared to individuals taking many existing FDA-approved medications for obesity who lost between 5% and 15%.
Participants with obesity or a body mass index of 27 or greater, who had at least one other comorbidity (excluding diabetes), experienced a weight reduction of up to 52 pounds during the 72-week trial.
Study participants on a 5-mg dose for weight loss experienced an average weight loss of 35 pounds or 16% of their body weight.
Those on a 10 mg dose lost an average of 49 pounds or 21.4% of their body weight.
On the highest dose—15 mg—participants lost an average of 52 pounds or 22.5% of their body weight.

The Mounjaro pen automatically injects the medication into your body through a hidden needle. When you press the button on the Mounjaro pen, the hand enters your skin and retracts when the injection is complete. You can inject the medication once weekly into your upper arm, upper thigh, or abdominal area.

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a new medication developed to help individuals with type 2 diabetes manage their condition. It is a once-weekly injection that combines two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, to help regulate blood sugar levels. GLP-1 is a hormone that the body naturally produces and helps to stimulate insulin secretion. At the same time, GIP is a hormone involved in insulin secretion and helps regulate appetite.

How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide combines the effects of GLP-1 and GIP to help regulate blood sugar levels. By stimulating insulin secretion and regulating appetite, Tirzepatide can help individuals with type 2 diabetes manage their condition more effectively. Tirzepatide also helps to reduce the amount of glucose produced by the liver, which can contribute to high blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Is Tirzepatide Right For Me?

Whether Tirzepatide is right for you will depend on various factors, including your medical history, current medications, and overall health. Your doctor can help you determine whether Tirzepatide is a good option. Generally, Tirzepatide works for individuals with type 2 diabetes who have not been able to manage their condition effectively with other medications or lifestyle changes.

Tirzepatide has several benefits for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

These benefits include:

Improved blood sugar control: Tirzepatide can help regulate blood sugar levels more effectively than other medications, which can help reduce the risk of complications associated with type 2 diabetes.
Weight loss: Tirzepatide can also help individuals with type 2 diabetes lose weight, which can further improve their overall health and reduce the risk of complications.
Convenience: Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection.
