Mounjaro

Mounjaro® mimics two gut hormones called glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). When you eat, these hormones slow digestion and help you feel full.

What Is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable prescription medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes and now widely used to support medical weight loss. It is unique among GLP-1 medications because it activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, giving it a dual-action effect on appetite and blood sugar regulation. This combined mechanism is why clinical trials have shown tirzepatide can produce greater average weight loss than single-action GLP-1 treatments.

How Mounjaro Works

Mounjaro slows gastric emptying and signals to the brain that you are full, which naturally reduces portion sizes and snacking between meals. It also helps balance blood sugar levels by improving the body’s sensitivity to insulin. Over time, most patients find that food noise and cravings become noticeably easier to manage, making it simpler to stick to a reduced-calorie diet alongside regular physical activity.

Starting Treatment with Metabolic Slim Clinic

Before any prescription is issued, every patient completes a full clinical assessment with one of our UK-registered prescribers. This includes a review of your medical history, current medications, and weight loss goals, to confirm that Mounjaro is a safe and suitable option for you. Your starting dose is deliberately low and increased gradually over several weeks, which helps minimise common side effects such as nausea while your body adjusts to treatment.

Our clinical team remains available throughout your treatment plan to review your progress, answer any questions, and adjust your dose where appropriate, so you always have support as you work towards your weight loss goals.
