Frequently asked questions

What is MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL used for?+
MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL 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 indicated to reduce the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who are at high risk for these events.
How does Tirzepatide work?+
Tirzepatide works by enhancing first- and second-phase insulin secretion and reducing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. It selectively binds to and activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, which helps to lower fasting and postprandial glucose concentrations, decrease food intake, and reduce body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
What is the usual dose of MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL?+
The recommended starting dosage of MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL is 2.5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly.
