Mounjaro is a prescription medication designed to help manage type 2 diabetes in adults. The active ingredient, tirzepatide, is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. By enhancing insulin production and reducing blood sugar levels, Mounjaro helps improve glycemic control when used alongside a healthy diet and exercise. It is particularly effective for individuals who have not achieved desired results with other diabetes treatments.
Each pen delivers four doses. The medication is available in different dose strengths. Each dose strength comes in a pack containing one prefilled pen with disposable needles (1 pen = 4 doses).
