How Mounjaro Works
Mounjaro works by mimicking hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar. It slows gastric emptying, reduces appetite signals to the brain, and helps maintain stable blood sugar levels. This combination leads to reduced food intake and significant weight loss.

Mounjaro Dosage
Mounjaro treatment starts at a low dose (2.5mg) and gradually increases over several weeks to minimise side effects. Our pharmacist will determine the appropriate dosage based on your individual needs. See our complete dosage guide for details.
Mounjaro vs Wegovy
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are effective weight loss medications, but Mounjaro has shown superior results in clinical trials. Mounjaro targets two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP) compared to Wegovy's single receptor (GLP-1), potentially providing better appetite suppression.
