What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is used for type 2 diabetes to help lower blood sugar levels. Mounjaro has also been shown to help with weight loss and maintain the lost weight in clinical trials when combined with diet and exercise. It is a once-weekly injection that can be self-administered and should be used alongside dietary changes and exercise.
Mounjaro works by activating two gut hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1, to manage blood sugar. This stimulates insulin release when glucose is high, reduces liver glucagon production, slows stomach emptying to control post-meal sugar spikes, and increases fullness to reduce appetite and food intake.
