MOUNJARO
Mounjaro Weight Loss Pen
Achieve your weight loss goals with the Mounjaro Weight Loss Pen, a clinically proven, prescription-only medication now available at The Health Dispensary.
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a medication that mimics naturally occurring hormones in your body to regulate appetite and food intake. Administered once weekly via a pre-filled injection pen, Mounjaro has been shown to support significant weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity
How does Mounjaro work?
Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, functions as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which:
- Regulates Appetite: Influences areas of the brain that control hunger, helping you feel full sooner and reducing cravings.
- Slows Gastric Emptying: Delays stomach emptying, promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing overall calorie intake.
- Improves Blood Sugar Control: Enhances insulin secretion and lowers blood sugar levels, beneficial for individuals with type 2 diabetes.
Benefits of Mounjaro
- Effective Weight Loss: Clinical trials have demonstrated that Mounjaro can lead to significant weight reduction when used alongside lifestyle changes.
- Convenient Dosing: With just one injection per week, incorporating Mounjaro into your routine is straightforward and manageable.
- Supports Healthy Lifestyle Changes: By reducing appetite and cravings, Mounjaro can assist you in adopting and maintaining healthier eating habits.
