Mounjaro
Mounjaro® is a once-weekly tirzepatide injection approved for eligible adults with type 2 diabetes. Its dual GIP and GLP-1 activity helps improve blood sugar control and may also influence appetite and body weight.
Mounjaro® is the brand name for tirzepatide, a once-weekly prescription injection approved to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes when used alongside diet and exercise. Unlike medications that target GLP-1 alone, tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These hormone pathways are involved in blood sugar regulation, digestion, and appetite.

Explore Mounjaro® and Its Dual GIP and GLP-1 Mechanism
Mounjaro is indicated for adults with type 2 diabetes and is not the tirzepatide brand specifically approved for chronic weight management. However, changes in appetite and body weight may occur during treatment. If your primary goal is weight management, your provider can discuss treatments approved for that purpose and help determine the most appropriate option based on your health and eligibility.

Personalized Treatment for Eligible Adults With Type 2 Diabetes

Tirzepatide's dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor activity distinguishes it from medications that target the GLP-1 pathway alone. For eligible adults with type 2 diabetes, this mechanism can help improve glycemic control. Your provider can explain expected benefits, potential side effects, and how Mounjaro compares with other available metabolic treatments.
