Mounjaro 30mg
What Mounjaro Is
Mounjaro, also known by its generic name tirzepatide, is a medication approved for adults and children 10 years and older with type 2 diabetes to help lower blood sugar levels. It is also used to aid weight loss and weight maintenance when combined with diet and exercise. Mounjaro is not insulin and does not cure diabetes; it is intended to manage the condition alongside lifestyle changes.
How Mounjaro Works
Mounjaro works by activating two gut hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual action helps:
Increase insulin secretion when blood sugar is high
Reduce glucose production by the liver
Slow gastric emptying, controlling post-meal blood sugar spikes
Increase satiety, reducing appetite and food intake
This dual mechanism has been shown to provide better blood sugar control than medications targeting only GLP-1 receptors, such as semaglutide
