Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Injections

GP and surgeon Dr Shane Charles (MBBS, MRCS, PgDip SEM) explains that "Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes and can also be prescribed to support weight loss. It works by activating GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which are natural hormones that help control appetite and blood sugar". If you feel this treatment may be suitable for you, you can begin an online consultation. A registered prescriber will review your information and decide whether it is clinically appropriate. If prescribed, your medication can be delivered straight to your home.

Standard Titration Schedule

You will typically start on the lowest dose and increase every 4 weeks to help your body adjust to the medication.

Mounjaro (active ingredient tirzepatide) is a "dual agonist" injection used for weight loss and type-2 diabetes. While other medicines target a single hormone, Mounjaro mimics two naturally occurring hormones: GLP-1 and GIP.

Mechanism of Action

• Suppresses Appetite: Signals the brain to reduce hunger and "food noise".
• Slows Digestion: Keeps you feeling full for longer after meals.
• Balances Blood Sugar: Improving insulin sensitivity helps prevent sugar spikes that trigger cravings.

Studies like Nauck & D'Alessio (2022) suggest this dual action makes Mounjaro more effective than single-hormone treatments like Wegovy or Ozempic.

Clinical Results

In the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial, participants on the highest dose lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks. Most users notice appetite suppression within the first 4 weeks.

Storage and Expiry

• Before Use: Store in the fridge (2°C to 8°C). Do not freeze.
• In Use: Can be kept out of the fridge (below 30°C) for up to 21 days.

Warning: Each pen contains 4 doses. Do not attempt to extract a "5th dose" from the pen, as this carries significant safety and infection risks. Read more about why you should not use a fifth dose.

What if I Miss a Dose?

• < 4 Days Late: Take the missed dose immediately.
• > 4 Days Late: Skip it. Take your next dose on your normal scheduled day.
• Warning: Never take two doses within 3 days (72 hours).

Independent pharmacist and Clinical Safety Officer Monalisa Kapinga explains the most common side effects and how to manage them: "Mounjaro may cause digestive, metabolic and general side effects, especially during the early weeks of treatment. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation are among the most common changes. Eating smaller meals, avoiding rich or spicy foods and staying hydrated can help. Burping or stomach discomfort may improve by eating slowly and avoiding fizzy drinks. Seek urgent medical help if you experience signs of gallbladder issues, severe abdominal pain or vomiting, which may indicate pancreatitis. A rash, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or breathing difficulty may suggest an allergic reaction. Stop Mounjaro and seek emergency care if this happens."

Common Side Effects

Most side effects are mild and improve as your body adjusts.

• Nausea: Very common. Sip water and eat bland foods.
• Digestive changes: Diarrhoea or constipation. Increase fibre intake gradually.
• Fatigue: Feeling tired or dizzy.

While Mounjaro is highly effective, we also prescribe other licensed treatments. Wegovy (semaglutide) and Saxenda (liraglutide) are popular alternatives. Ozempic is also available for type-2 diabetes management.

Switching Medicines: If switching from Wegovy to Mounjaro, you must leave a 7-day washout period between your last dose of Wegovy and your first dose of Mounjaro. Read our full switching guide here.

Mounjaro is a temperature-sensitive medication. We use cold-chain packaging with ice packs to ensure it arrives within the safe range (2°C - 8°C).

Important Delivery Rules:

• Sign on Receipt: Someone must be available to accept the package. Missed cold-chain deliveries cannot be re-sent or refunded due to spoilage risks.
• Thursday Orders: Orders placed after 2:30pm on Thursday will likely be dispatched the following Monday to avoid sitting in a depot over the weekend.

Ready to order? The process is simple:

1. Complete the online consultation.
2. Submit your FitXpress safety photos.
3. Receive your Mounjaro via next-day cold-chain delivery.
