Mounjaro Is Effective

Mounjaro has proven effective in clinical trials, helping people achieve significant weight loss. It works on GLP-1 and GIP receptors to reduce appetite and enhance fat breakdown.

How Do I Take It?

Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection and can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food. Choose a spot on your stomach, thigh, or upper arm that feels comfortable to inject into. Pick a different place to inject each week to minimise discomfort.

It’s easier to follow a video than read about how to take medication, so here is the video below:

How Much To Inject

If you are new to Mounjaro, you will begin with a starting dose of 2.5 mg, which is increased gradually every four weeks, up to a maximum of 15 mg. If you find a dose is working for you, it’s fine to continue treatment without increasing your dose.

If you have used Mounjaro before, let us know, and you may be able to start at a higher dose.

We can adjust your treatment plan so that it works for you - message us through your account.

We strongly recommend reading the patient information leaflet in your medication box. It contains vital information on how to use Mounjaro, potential side effects, and other safety information.

• Loss of appetite
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Headache
• Abdominal pain
  • Mounjaro can increase the risk of gallbladder problems and pancreatitis. Symptoms include severe, sharp upper stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, or fever. Stop treatment and get medical help right away if these occur.
• Acid reflux/heartburn
• Diarrhoea or constipation
• Burping and flatulence
• Hair loss

Cautions and Safety Information

Cautions and Safety InformationHere's some important safety information about your medication.

Managing Low Blood Sugar Levels

While Mounjaro is designed to help you manage your weight, it may cause low blood sugar levels, especially if you are also using diabetes medication. Be aware of symptoms like dizziness, shaking, or hunger, and have a quick source of sugar available if needed. On rare occasions, these symptoms can occur, even if you’re not diabetic.

Dehydration Warning

Vomiting and loose stools can lead to dehydration. If you experience frequent vomiting or diarrhoea, increase your fluid intake, and consider an oral rehydration solution. If symptoms persist, contact our clinical team for advice.

General Anaesthesia

If you’re preparing for general anaesthesia, there’s an increased risk of aspiration, where food or liquids could enter your airway or lungs during the procedure. To help reduce this risk, it’s essential to stop your Mounjaro at least one week prior to surgery. Be sure to notify both your healthcare provider and the anaesthesia team about your treatment so they can take the appropriate steps to ensure your safety.

Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Mounjaro should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and if trying to conceive. It’s recommended to use a non-oral contraceptive method, such as condoms, as Mounjaro’s effect on oral contraceptives is unclear. Speak to your GP for further advice.

When Not To Use Treatment

Mounjaro isn’t recommended if you have heart failure, severe stomach or gut issues, or inflammatory bowel disease, liver or kidney disease, or if you’re aged over 85.

Diabetic Eye Screening

If you have diabetes, regular eye screenings are important during treatment.

Mental Health

If you have mental health concerns, such as depression, stopping treatment may affect your mood – keep an eye on how you feel and reach out to a clinician if needed.

Informing Your GP

Always tell your GP and other healthcare professionals involved in your care that you’re using Mounjaro. If you do not share this information with your GP, they will not have correct information to make decisions about your care, increasing your risk of injuries or side effects. On your account page, you can download a letter to share with your GP that contains all the relevant information about your treatment plan.

If you’re having an investigation or are admitted to hospital, we recommend you pause treatment. If you’re due to have surgery with general anaesthesia or deep sedation, stop Mounjaro at least a week before the procedure.

Money Back Guarantee

We’re confident that you’ll lose at least 10% of your body weight in six months. If you don’t, we’ll give you your money back—simple as that.
