Mounjaro for Weight Loss

Some people have heard of using Mounjaro medication for weight loss.

Interest in this use is due to the fact that the main drug in Mounjaro is thought to help reduce hunger, improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucagon levels and assist with controlling blood glucose levels. The SURMOUNT-1 study showed that overweight or obese patients who used tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro prescription injections, demonstrated substantial weight reduction when compared to placebo. Specifically, most patients in the trial were able to have a 5% weight loss while people who received 10 mg or 15 mg doses demonstrated 20% reduction in body weight. While some adverse reactions occurred, they were primarily limited to gastrointestinal events. In the SURPASS-2 trial, the active ingredient in Mounjaro medication was found to be superior to semaglutide in regards to the mean change in the glycated hemoglobin level with the added effect of weight reduction. Eli Lilly also started recruitment for a new trial, SURMOUNT-5, which is a phase 3b study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the active ingredient of the drug in comparison to semaglutide in certain adults. While a number of patients using Mounjaro prescription medication have demonstrated significant improvements in regards to weight, Mounjaro injections are under review by the FDA and are not presently approved for this clinical use. Irrespective of any effects in regards to weight loss, Mounjaro injections should be used in conjunction with healthy lifestyle choices.
