Description

What is Mounjaro 10mg Injection?

Overview

Mounjaro 10mg is a weight loss treatment available in a pre-filled pen for once-weekly injections. It is the UK-licensed version of the US-approved weight loss injection, Zepbound.

How It Works

Mounjaro 10mg contains Tirzepatide, which targets receptors for two hormones, GIP and GLP-1. These hormones are naturally released after eating and play a crucial role in controlling blood sugar levels. By mimicking the effects of GIP and GLP-1, Tirzepatide signals your pancreas to release more insulin. This helps regulate blood sugar while sending fullness signals to the brain, reducing appetite and preventing cravings, ultimately supporting weight loss.

What is Mounjaro 10mg Injection Used For?

Usage Overview

Mounjaro 10mg injection is used to support weight loss and help manage blood sugar levels when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and regular exercise. It is intended for adults who:

  • Have a BMI of 30 kg/m² or greater (obesity), or
  • Have a BMI between 27 kg/m² and 30 kg/m² (overweight) and experience weight-related health issues, such as prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, abnormal blood lipids, obstructive sleep apnea, or a history of heart attack, stroke, or other vascular problems.

Understanding BMI

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure that compares your weight to your height.

After completing our online consultation form, you can securely purchase Mounjaro 10mg injection from courierpharmacy.co.uk.

How does Mounjaro 10mg Injection Work?

Mechanism of Action

Mounjaro 10mg injection contains Tirzepatide, a GIP analogue that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. These natural hormones are released from your gut after eating and play a key role in controlling blood sugar levels.

Appetite and Weight Control

Activation of GLP-1 and GIP also sends signals to your brain that increase feelings of fullness, helping to reduce appetite and curb cravings. Additionally, these hormones slow down stomach emptying. When combined with a reduced-calorie diet, regular Mounjaro injections assist many patients in losing excess weight and managing their appetite.

How do you use Mounjaro 10mg Injection?

Dosage and Administration

  • Use Mounjaro exactly as your doctor or pharmacist instructs. If you're uncertain, please check with them.
  • Each KwikPen contains 4 doses and comes in various strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, or 15mg.

Determining Your Dose

  • Start with 2.5mg once a week for four weeks.
  • After four weeks, your doctor will typically increase your dose to 5mg once a week.
  • Your dose may be raised in 2.5mg increments (up to 15mg per week) if needed, and you should remain on each dose for at least four weeks before any increase.
  • Remember, everyone responds differently. You may stay on your current dose longer or even permanently if it works well, and if side effects occur or you do not tolerate a higher dose, you can reduce or maintain your current dose. Always consult our clinical team for advice.

Scheduling Your Injections

  • Use your pen on the same day each week, with or without food.
  • To help you remember, mark your chosen day on a calendar or refer to your “Instructions for Use.”
  • If you need to change your dosing day, ensure at least 3 days have passed since your last injection and then continue with weekly dosing on the new day.

How to Inject with the KwikPen

  • Preparation: Read the complete guide provided with your pen. Remove the pen from its packaging and check the expiration date.
  • Injection Site: Choose a clean, dry area on your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. If you also inject insulin, select a different site for insulin.
  • Needle Attachment: Remove the pen cap and clean the injection site with an alcohol swab. Use a new pen needle for each injection, attach it securely by pushing straight on and twisting until tight, then remove the outer needle shield.
  • Injection: Hold the pen at a 90-degree angle against your skin and press the button to inject. Hold it in place for at least 5 seconds before releasing the button.
  • Aftercare: Dispose of the used needle and pen in a sharps container or as instructed by your healthcare provider.

Additional Reminders

  • Mounjaro is taken once a week; consistency is key.
  • Rotate your injection sites to avoid skin irritation.
  • If you have any questions or concerns, consult your doctor or contact our clinical team.

Who should not take Mounjaro 10mg Injection?

Do Not Use Mounjaro KwikPen if:

  • You are allergic to tirzepatide or any other ingredient in this medication. Please refer to the product information leaflet for details.

Warnings and Precautions

  • Digestive Concerns:
    Consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse if you have severe digestive issues or delayed stomach emptying, including severe gastroparesis.
  • Pancreatitis:
    Do not use if you have a history of pancreatitis, which can cause severe, persistent stomach and back pain.
  • Eye Conditions:
    Avoid using Mounjaro if you have eye problems such as diabetic retinopathy or macular edema.
  • Diabetes Medications:
    If you are on a sulfonylurea or insulin, Mounjaro may cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your doctor might need to adjust your dose to reduce this risk.
  • Dehydration Risks:
    When starting Mounjaro, you might experience vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea, which can lead to dehydration and affect kidney function. It is important to drink plenty of fluids and contact your doctor if you have concerns.

Age and Reproductive Considerations

  • Children and Adolescents:
    This medication should not be given to individuals under 18, as it has not been studied in this age group.
  • Pregnancy:
    Mounjaro should not be used during pregnancy because its effects on the unborn child are unknown. If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or plan to have a baby, consult your doctor before using this medicine. Contraception is recommended while using Mounjaro.
  • Breastfeeding:
    It is not known whether tirzepatide passes into breast milk. If you are breastfeeding or plan to, discuss with your doctor whether to stop breastfeeding or delay using Mounjaro.

Driving and Operating Machinery

  • Although Mounjaro generally does not affect your ability to drive or operate machines, if you combine it with sulfonylureas or insulin, hypoglycemia may occur, potentially reducing your concentration. Avoid driving or using machines if you experience symptoms such as headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, hunger, confusion, irritability, a fast heartbeat, or sweating.

Additional Product Information

  • Sodium Content:
    Each dose of the Mounjaro KwikPen contains less than 1 mmol sodium (23 mg), making it essentially sodium-free.
  • Benzyl Alcohol:
    Every 0.6 ml dose includes 5.4 mg of benzyl alcohol [E1519]. Benzyl alcohol may trigger allergic reactions. If you have liver or kidney issues, consult your doctor, as high levels may lead to metabolic acidosis.

Does Mounjaro 10mg interact with any other medicines?

Tirzepatide and Medication Absorption

  • Tirzepatide can slow stomach emptying, which may alter how other oral medications are absorbed, particularly when you first begin treatment.

Paracetamol

  • When taken with tirzepatide, the peak concentration (Cmax) of paracetamol is reduced by 50%, and it takes an extra hour to reach its peak (tmax).
  • No adjustment to the paracetamol dose is needed.
  • The impact on paracetamol absorption is dose-dependent; lower doses of tirzepatide (0.5 and 1.5 mg) slightly affect paracetamol levels. After four weekly doses (5/5/8/10 mg), paracetamol’s Cmax, tmax, and overall exposure (AUC) remain unchanged.

Oral Contraceptives

  • A single 5 mg dose of tirzepatide can lower the peak concentration (Cmax) and overall exposure (AUC) of oral contraceptives, delaying their peak levels:
    • Ethinyl estradiol: Cmax reduced by 59%, AUC by 20%, with a 4-hour delay in tmax.
    • Norelgestromin: Cmax reduced by 55%, AUC by 23%, with a 4.5-hour delay in tmax.
    • Norgestimate: Cmax reduced by 66%, AUC by 20%, with a 2.5-hour delay in tmax.
  • These changes are not considered clinically significant for women with a normal BMI, so no dose adjustment is necessary.

Special Considerations for Overweight or Obese Women

  • There is limited data on how tirzepatide affects oral contraceptives in overweight or obese women, so reduced effectiveness cannot be ruled out.
  • It is recommended to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or use a barrier method (such as condoms) for 4 weeks when starting tirzepatide and after each dose increase.
