What is Mounjaro®?
Mounjaro® activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors simultaneously—making it a different type of diabetes medication than traditional GLP-1 therapies like Ozempic®. It's why Mounjaro® consistently outperformed alternatives in clinical trials.
Mounjaro® is an incredibly powerful diabetes medication. While it shares the same active ingredient (tirzepatide) as Zepbound®, it is specifically FDA-approved for adults with type 2 diabetes to improve glycemic control.
Taken once weekly, Mounjaro® works by activating the body's receptors to stimulate insulin production, suppress glucagon release, slow gastric emptying, and reduce appetite. Most patients start at a lower initiation dose and increase to a higher maintenance dose based on their blood sugar response and tolerance.

Delivers superior blood sugar control
by activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which work together to stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is elevated and reduce glucagon secretion—resulting in consistently better A1C reductions.
Slows gastric emptying
to prevent post-meal blood sugar spikes and promote a feeling of fullness that can support weight management as an important secondary benefit for patients with type 2 diabetes.
Reduces appetite and food intake
by activating receptors in areas of the brain important for appetite regulation and reducing food noise.
Improves insulin sensitivity
and helps your body use glucose more effectively, reducing the amount of sugar your liver produces and helping your muscles take up more glucose from the bloodstream.

Ongoing support, always available.
You’ll be treated by experts with years of experience in managing weight, metabolic health, and related conditions such as hypertension and insulin resistance.
Our clinicians will monitor progress. If medication is prescribed, we will adjust dosing and manage side effects safely. If lab testing is ordered, we review results and refine your plan accordingly. You’re never left navigating alone.

How Mounjaro® can change your day-to-day
Blood sugar control that actually works
Many patients describe reaching blood sugar targets they never thought possible—with 91% of participants in a key trial achieving an A1C of 7% or lower, and 43% achieving an A1C of 5.7% or lower.
Weight loss as a powerful secondary benefit
Patients treated with Mounjaro® lost between 12 and 25 pounds on average in trials—meaningful weight reduction that can improve overall metabolic health.

Frequently asked questions about Mounjaro®
How is Mounjaro® different from Zepbound® or other GLP-1 medications?
Mounjaro® and Zepbound® contain the same active ingredient (tirzepatide), but they have different FDA-approved indications. Mounjaro® is specifically approved for adults and children (10 years and older) with type 2 diabetes to improve blood sugar control. Zepbound® is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight—regardless of whether they have diabetes. If you have type 2 diabetes, Mounjaro® is the appropriate choice. If you're seeking weight loss without diabetes, Zepbound® may be more appropriate.
Mounjaro® also differs from single-receptor GLP-1 medications like Ozempic® (semaglutide) because it activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which has resulted in greater A1C reductions in clinical trials.
