Mounjaro®: A Dual-Action Solution for Diabetes and Weight Management

What is Mounjaro for Weight Loss?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an FDA-approved medication for managing type 2 diabetes. It is a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist, meaning it works by mimicking two natural hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) that help regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin sensitivity. Mounjaro has also been shown to promote weight loss, making it a dual-purpose treatment for both diabetes and weight management.
