Description

Mounjaro is a medicine used together with diet and physical activity to treat adults who have type 2 diabetes which is not satisfactorily controlled. It can be used on its own in patients who cannot take metformin (another diabetes medicine) or as an ‘add-on’ to other diabetes medicines.

Mounjaro is also used together with diet and physical activity to help people to lose weight and keep their weight under control. It is used in people who have obesity (BMI of 30 kg/m2 or more) or who are overweight (BMI between 27 and 30 kg/m2) and have weight-related health problems such as diabetes, abnormally high levels of fat in the blood, high blood pressure or obstructive sleep apnoea (frequent interruption of breathing during sleep). BMI (body mass index) is a measure of your weight in relation to your height.

Mounjaro contains the active substance tirzepatide.
