About Mounjaro
Mounjaro is a prescription injectable medication containing tirzepatide, a hormone that works on two appetite-regulating pathways in the brain. It's designed to help adults lose weight when combined with diet and exercise changes.
How Mounjaro works
Mounjaro mimics two natural hormones that control hunger and blood sugar. By activating these pathways, it reduces your appetite, helps you feel fuller for longer, and can decrease cravings for food. You inject it once a week under the skin, usually in the abdomen, thigh or upper arm.
What to expect from treatment
Weight loss with Mounjaro typically develops gradually over several weeks. Most people begin to notice changes within the first month, with more significant results emerging over 12 weeks and beyond. The amount you lose depends on your starting weight, how consistently you use the medication, and how well you stick to healthier eating and activity habits. Results continue to improve as your dose is gradually increased to your optimal level.
Who Mounjaro is suitable for
Mounjaro is prescribed to adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or those with a BMI of 27 or above who have weight-related health conditions. It works best for people committed to making lasting changes to their diet and exercise habits alongside using the medication. Your pharmacist will discuss whether it's right for you during your initial consultation.
How we supervise your treatment
At South Ealing Pharmacy, we manage your entire Mounjaro journey. Your first appointment includes a full health assessment to confirm you're suitable. We'll teach you how to inject safely and answer all your questions. You'll have regular follow-up consultations to monitor your progress, manage any side effects, and adjust your dose as needed. We're here to support you throughout your treatment and help you build sustainable habits that last beyond the medication.
Lifestyle and results
Mounjaro works best when you combine it with balanced eating and regular movement. Your pharmacist will discuss realistic goals and timescales with you. Some people see results within weeks; for others it takes longer. Consistency matters more than perfection—small, steady changes add up to lasting weight loss.
