Dettagli del medicinale

Descrizione

Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide) è un trattamento avanzato per la gestione del peso che imita due ormoni naturali nel tuo corpo: GLP-1 e GIP. Agendo su questi due segnali separati contemporaneamente, aiuta a regolare l'appetito in modo più efficace rispetto ai trattamenti che ne utilizzano solo uno. Questa azione doppia unica ti aiuta a sentirti sazio più a lungo e a calmare le voglie di cibo, rendendo più facile seguire una routine più sana.

Progettato per la semplicità, Mounjaro è disponibile in una comoda penna multi-dose. Ogni penna contiene 4 dosi settimanali (una fornitura completa per un mese) e include aghi, rendendo il tuo piano di trattamento facile da gestire.

Indicazioni per l'uso

Once a week one injection.

Ingredienti

Effetti collaterali

Gastrointestinal problems (nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation), a potential risk of hypoglycaemia (especially when used with other diabetes medications), injection site reactions, and other effects depending on the individual’s health status and other medicines taken.

Avvertenze

When using Mounjaro (tirzepatide), it is important to take certain precautions. Be alert to severe abdominal pain, which may indicate pancreatitis. Monitor blood sugar levels closely, as there is a risk of hypoglycaemia when Mounjaro is used together with other diabetes medications. Report any changes in urination, which could signal kidney problems, and seek medical advice promptly if you experience persistent digestive symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhoea.

It is also essential to inform your doctor of any personal or family history of thyroid cancer, as studies in rodents have linked medicines similar to Mounjaro to thyroid-related issues. Watch for signs of allergic reactions, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare professional about potential risks before using this medication.

Domande Frequenti

What is the difference between Mounjaro and Wegovy?How quickly does Mounjaro start to work?

Both medications are effective injectable treatments for weight management, but they work in slightly different ways.

Wegovy (Semaglutide) mimics one natural hormone called GLP-1. It primarily focuses on regulating appetite and slowing down digestion to help you feel full.

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is a newer treatment that mimics two hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. By targeting both signals at the same time, Mounjaro acts on improved appetite control and metabolic regulation. Clinical studies suggest that this "dual action" may lead to greater weight loss results for some patients compared to treatments that target only one hormone.

How quickly does Mounjaro start to work?

The onset of Mounjaro's effects can vary, but patients may begin to see improvements in their blood sugar levels and weight within a few weeks of starting treatment. Continuous use in conjunction with diet and exercise enhances its efficacy.

How is Mounjaro administered?

Mounjaro is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week. It can be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm, with the site of injection rotated each week to minimise the risk of skin irritation.

How should Mounjaro be stored?

Mounjaro should be stored in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C (36°F to 46°F). Do not freeze. Keep the pen in its original packaging to protect from light. Once in use, it may be kept at room temperature for 30 days.

Do I need a prescription for Mounjaro?

Yes, Mounjaro is a prescription medication. You will need to consult a healthcare provider to determine if it's appropriate for your condition and to receive a prescription. Using our online consultation service will enable you to answer a short questionnaire that would be used by one of our clinical prescribers to determine your eligibility for the treatment and approve or decline and refund your order.
