Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medication for adults with type 2 diabetes, used as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve blood sugar control. The 15mg dosage is the highest strength available, typically reached after a gradual dose escalation, serving as a maximum maintenance dose for patients who require additional support for glycemic control or weight management.

Mounjaro works as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, activating both receptors to enhance its effects. This dual action helps your body in several ways: - It increases the amount of insulin your body produces when blood sugar levels are high. - It reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver. - It slows down how quickly food is digested, which helps you feel full for longer and can reduce appetite.

• Superior Blood Sugar Control: In clinical trials, Mounjaro 15mg was shown to significantly reduce HbA1c, a key measure of long-term blood sugar control.
• Significant Weight Loss: While not an official weight loss drug, Mounjaro has demonstrated a powerful effect on body weight. In studies, adults on the 15mg dose lost an average of 25 lbs, with some achieving an average weight loss of 20.9% of their body weight over 72 weeks. This effect is often accompanied by reduced hunger and food cravings.
• Maximum Appetite Suppression: For patients who have plateaued at lower doses, the 15mg strength can provide further support by maximizing appetite control and helping to reduce cravings.

• Use Mounjaro exactly as prescribed by your doctor and follow all directions on your prescription label.
• Preparation: Remove the pen from refrigerator. Leave the gray base cap on until you are ready to inject. Wipe your skin with a swab and let the injection site dry before you inject your dose. Pull off the gray base cap. Make sure the pen is locked. Do not unlock the Pen until you place the clear base on your skin and are ready to inject. Pull the gray base cap straight off and throw it away in your household trash. Insert the needle (needle sold separately, not included in this pack) Place the clear base flat against your skin at the injection.
• Administration: Mounjaro is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous (under the skin) injection. You can inject it into your abdomen, thigh, or the back of your upper arm, making sure to rotate the injection site each week. The KwikPen is designed for easy, single-patient use and delivers a precise 0.6 ml dose regardless of the strength.
• Dosage Progression: The 15mg dose is the final step in the Mounjaro dosing schedule. Patients typically start on a lower dose (2.5mg) and gradually increase by 2.5mg increments every four weeks based on their tolerance and treatment response. This titration process helps minimize gastrointestinal side effects.
• Missed Dose: If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) of the missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and take your next dose on your regularly scheduled day. Always ensure at least 3 days (72 hours) pass between two doses.
