What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is a prescription injectable medication used in adults with Type 2 diabetes, along with a balanced diet and exercise, to improve blood sugar levels. Keeping blood sugar under control helps delay or prevent complications of diabetes.

Mounjaro injections are used once weekly and are meant to be used alongside a diet and exercise plan.

Mounjaro is part of a class of drugs known as dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists. It works by improving insulin release when blood sugar levels are high, suppressing the liver’s sugar production, and slowing stomach emptying to help control appetite and reduce food intake.

Off-label uses of Mounjaro include weight loss.

Can Mounjaro be used for weight loss?

Currently, Mounjaro is not approved as a weight loss medication. However, clinical studies have shown that patients who take Mounjaro typically lose a significant amount of weight. 

Tirzepatide is available as a different brand-name product, Zepbound, that is approved for weight loss and may be more likely to be covered by insurance for that purpose.

What is the prescription process for Mounjaro?

Your primary provider, endocrinologist, or obesity specialist can help you decide if Mounjaro is the right treatment  for you. They'll take your medical history and other medications into account. Some insurance carriers may require step therapy before covering Mounjaro. And you may need to work with your healthcare team to receive prior authorization for Mounjaro.

How does Mounjaro compare to Ozempic?

Ozempic and Mounjaro are both approved to manage blood sugar levels in people with Type 2 diabetes. And both help people to lose weight. However, they contain different active ingredients. Your healthcare provider will help to determine the best treatment for your health needs.

What’s the difference between Mounjaro and Zepbound?

Mounjaro and Zepbound have the same active ingredient (tirzepatide), but they’re approved for different uses. Mounjaro is approved for Type 2 diabetes management; Zepbound is approved for weight loss and obstructive sleep apnea. Although Mounjaro is used off-label for weight loss, it is currently not approved and, therefore, less likely to be covered by insurance for weight loss than Zepbound.

What are the side effects of Mounjaro?

Common side effects of Mounjaro may include:

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Decreased appetite

• Constipation

• Indigestion

Serious side effects can also occur, including inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), changes in vision, kidney problems, and severe gastrointestinal issues.

Women who take Mounjaro along with oral birth control pills should discuss birth control with their healthcare provider.
