What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL, is a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist presented as a 2.5 mg/0.5 mL injection, solution for subcutaneous use. It is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. GNH USA supplies MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL as a licensed, GDP-compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies, and clinics worldwide.

MOUNJARO is an injectable prescription medicine that works by directly activating GIP and GLP-1 pathways to help regulate blood sugar. It is not known if MOUNJARO is safe and effective for use in children under 10 years of age.

What is Tirzepatide used for?

MOUNJARO is a GLP-1 receptor agonist used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and related conditions. It is indicated for:

- Type 2 diabetes mellitus: As an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. - Cardiovascular risk reduction: To reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, or non-fatal stroke) in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are at high risk for these events. - Weight management: As an adjunct to a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity for weight management, including weight loss and weight maintenance, in adults with an initial Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 kg/m² or greater, or 27 kg/m² to < 30 kg/m² in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition.

What are the side effects of Tirzepatide?

MOUNJARO may cause various side effects, ranging from common to serious or rare. Common Side Effects:

- Nausea - Diarrhea - Decreased appetite - Vomiting - Constipation - Indigestion - Stomach (abdominal) pain

Serious or Rare Side Effects:

- Acute pancreatitis: Discontinue if suspected. - Hypoglycemia: Increased risk when used with insulin secretagogues or insulin. - Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious reactions such as anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported. - Acute kidney injury: Monitor renal function in patients reporting adverse reactions that could lead to volume depletion. - Severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions: Not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis. - Diabetic retinopathy complications: Monitor patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy for progression. - Acute gallbladder disease: Gallbladder studies and clinical follow-up are indicated if cholelithiasis is suspected.

What precautions apply to Tirzepatide?

MOUNJARO should be used with caution and certain precautions should be observed. Acute pancreatitis: Discontinue if suspected. Hypoglycemia: Concomitant use with an insulin secretagogue or insulin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. Reducing dose of insulin secretagogue or insulin may be necessary. Hypersensitivity reactions: Serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis and angioedema) have been reported. Discontinue MOUNJARO if suspected and promptly seek medical advice. Acute kidney injury: Monitor renal function in patients reporting adverse reactions that could lead to volume depletion. Severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions: Use has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. MOUNJARO is not recommended in patients with severe gastroparesis. Store at 2-8°C: Keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Tirzepatide interact with?

MOUNJARO may interact with other medications, potentially affecting its efficacy or increasing the risk of adverse effects. Major Interactions (Avoid):

- Insulin secretagogues: Concomitant use may increase the risk of hypoglycemia. - Insulin: Concomitant use may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):

- Oral medications: MOUNJARO delays gastric emptying and has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Caution should be exercised when oral medications are concomitantly administered with MOUNJARO. - Other GLP-1 receptor agonists: Monitor for increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects. - Other medications affecting gastrointestinal motility: Monitor for increased risk of gastrointestinal side effects.

Frequently asked questions

What is MOUNJARO used for?+
MOUNJARO is used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults and pediatric patients 10 years of age and older with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also used to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are at high risk for these events. Additionally, it is used for weight management in adults with a certain Body Mass Index (BMI).
How does Tirzepatide work?+
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in MOUNJARO, is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. It selectively binds to and activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which enhances insulin secretion and reduces glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. This action helps to lower blood sugar levels, decrease food intake, and reduce body weight.
What is the usual dose of MOUNJARO?+
The recommended starting dosage of MOUNJARO is 2.5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly. If additional glycemic control is needed, the dosage can be increased in 2.5 mg increments after at least 4 weeks on the current dose. The maximum dosage for adults is 15 mg once weekly, and for pediatric patients 10 years of age and older, it is 10 mg once weekly. The prescriber will determine the appropriate dose based on individual patient needs.
Is MOUNJARO safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
The safety of MOUNJARO during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss the potential risks and benefits before using MOUNJARO during pregnancy or while breastfeeding. Always follow the advice of a healthcare professional regarding the use of any medication during these periods.
How do I order MOUNJARO from GNH USA?+

The team will ask you to confirm your trade or institutional credentials and will then provide pricing, availability, shipping details (including cold-chain where relevant), and the necessary import paperwork.
How does MOUNJARO compare to other diabetes medications?+
MOUNJARO is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist, which distinguishes it from other diabetes medications that may only target one of these pathways. This dual action can provide more comprehensive glycemic control and additional benefits such as weight loss. However, the choice of medication depends on individual patient needs, and a healthcare provider should determine the most appropriate treatment.
How should MOUNJARO be stored and handled?+
MOUNJARO should be stored in the refrigerator between 36°F to 46°F (2°C to 8°C). If needed, it can be stored at room temperature up to 86°F (30°C) for up to 21 days. It should be kept in the original carton to protect it from light and should not be frozen. Always follow the storage instructions provided in the product packaging and consult the healthcare provider or pharmacist if you have any questions.
How is MOUNJARO administered?+
MOUNJARO is administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly. It can be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or back of the upper arm. The injection site should be rotated with each dose. The medication can be administered at any time of day, with or without meals. It is important to follow the administration instructions provided by the healthcare provider or pharmacist.
What are the most serious risks to watch for with MOUNJARO?+
The most serious risks associated with MOUNJARO include acute pancreatitis, severe hypoglycemia (especially when used with insulin or insulin secretagogues), hypersensitivity reactions (such as anaphylaxis and angioedema), acute kidney injury due to volume depletion, and severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. Patients should be monitored for these risks and seek medical advice if any concerning symptoms occur.
Who should not use MOUNJARO?+
MOUNJARO should not be used by individuals with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. It is also not recommended for patients with severe gastroparesis or those who have had pancreatitis. Additionally, it should be used with caution in patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy. Always consult a healthcare provider to determine if MOUNJARO is appropriate for you.
