Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)

How to take Mounjaro:

To take Mounjaro for weight loss you should inject your dose once a week, on the same day and at the same time. This helps keep the levels of tirzepatide steady in your bloodstream, reducing the risk of side effects and increasing its effectiveness.

• We only stock Mounjaro as a multi-dose pen. This means that each Mounjaro pen contains 4 doses of the same strength. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions and the patient information leaflet included with your pen.
• You should only inject Mounjaro (tirzepatide) into the skin of your belly or upper thighs, avoiding any veins or muscles. You can inject in the outer section of your upper arms if they have a substantial subcutaneous layer and you can get someone else to help you do so.
• You’ll need to use a new needle for each injection. Make sure you have a sharps bin nearby so you can safely dispose of it when you’re finished.
• Always check your pen and needle for signs of damage and do not use it if it’s unsealed or bent. You should also check the liquid for discolouration or cloudiness – in case it’s not clear and colourless to slightly yellowish, you may need to use a new pen.
• Before taking your dose, make sure that you’ve got the right medication and right dose according to the Mounjaro dosing schedule. This is especially important if you take other injectable medications like insulin.

• • Read the Instructions for Use that come with Mounjaro.

  • Use Mounjaro exactly as your healthcare provider says.

  • Mounjaro is injected under the skin (subcutaneously) of your stomach (abdomen), thigh, or upper arm.

  • Use Mounjaro 1 time each week, at any time of the day.

  • Do not mix insulin and Mounjaro together in the same injection.

  • You may give an injection of Mounjaro and insulin in the same body area (such as your stomach area), but not right next to each other.

  • Change (rotate) your injection site with each weekly injection. Do not use the same site for each injection.

  • If you take too much Mounjaro, call your healthcare provider or seek medical advice promptly.
