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 for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbid condition.
How does Tirzepatide work?+
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in MOUNJARO, is a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It selectively binds to and activates both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, enhancing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon levels in a glucose-dependent manner. This helps to lower blood sugar levels and reduce body weight.
What is the usual dose of MOUNJARO 2.5 mg/0.5mL?+
The recommended starting dosage of MOUNJARO is 2.5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly. After 4 weeks, the dosage can be increased to 5 mg once weekly.
