What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide and is used for weight loss and weight maintenance alongside reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It works in part by regulating appetite, helping patients feel fuller and experience fewer food cravings.
Using the contraceptive pill?
We advise an additional barrier method or switch to a non-oral method for four weeks after starting Mounjaro and four weeks after each dose increase. Mounjaro should not be used during pregnancy.
