What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro belongs to the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist family of medications.
It’s primarily used as a treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus, in combination with metformin. These treatments are done as part of an overall treatment plan that includes dietary changes and exercise.
Typically, Mounjaro is used in monotherapy when the person has contraindications or an intolerance to metformin.

How does Mounjaro work?
Mounjaro’s main function is to lower your blood sugar levels, by helping your body release more insulin when your blood sugar is high.
Mounjaro also works by reducing levels of glucagon, which is a hormone in your body that prevents blood sugar from decreasing too much.
What is Mounjaro used to treat?
Mounjaro is primarily used as a treatment for people with type 2 diabetes, in combination with dietary changes and exercise.
In some cases, Mounjaro is used by itself, as part of monotherapy. However, in some cases, it’s used in tandem with other medications.
The most effective treatment plan needs to be determined by a licensed healthcare practitioner, based on each person’s current needs and medical history.
How do you take Mounjaro?
The specific dosage of Mounjaro selected for you will be determined by your healthcare practitioner, but different doses are used the same way.
Mounjaro injections are meant to be used under the skin (subcutaneously), which means you should never inject Mounjaro into muscles or veins.
Follow the instructions on the package of your injection to prepare your dose. The best places to inject Mounjaro are the front of the abdomen (stomach), the front of the thighs, and the upper arms.
You should only ever take your prescribed dose of Mounjaro, and for the medication to work most effectively, it’s best to take it at the same time each week.
