Mounjaro 15mg: A Weight Loss Treatment

Overview

Courierpharmacy’s Mounjaro 15mg is a weight loss treatment delivered via 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

The active ingredient in Mounjaro is Tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide attaches to receptors for two key hormones, GIP and GLP-1, which your body naturally produces after eating.
By mimicking the effects of GIP and GLP-1, it prompts your pancreas to release more insulin, helping to control blood sugar levels.
It also sends signals of fullness to the brain, reducing appetite and curbing cravings.
These combined effects aid in weight loss.

How does Mounjaro 15mg Injection Work?

Active Ingredient and Receptor Activation

Mounjaro 15mg contains Tirzepatide, a GIP analogue that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. These gut hormones are naturally released after eating and play a vital role in regulating blood sugar levels.

Mechanism and Effects

GLP-1 and GIP signal the brain to create feelings of fullness, which reduces appetite and curbs cravings.
They also slow stomach emptying, aiding in better blood sugar control.
When used along with a reduced-calorie diet, regular Mounjaro injections help many patients lose excess weight and manage their appetite effectively.

How do you use Mounjaro 15mg injection?

Dosage and Administration

Always follow your doctor’s instructions when using Mounjaro 15mg injection. If you are unsure, consult your doctor or pharmacist. Each KwikPen contains 4 doses and is available in various strengths including 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, or 15mg. Typically, treatment starts with 2.5mg once a week for four weeks. After this period, your doctor may increase your dose by 2.5mg increments (up to 15mg) based on your response. It is important to stay on each dose for at least four weeks before any increase.

Dosing Schedule

Begin with a starting dose of 2.5mg once weekly for the first month.
Your doctor may then raise your dose gradually to 5mg, and if needed, further increase by 2.5mg increments.
Everyone’s response is different, so you can remain on your current dose for an extra month or even longer if you prefer.
Only increase your dose if you are tolerating your current dose well and want to enhance weight loss.

When to Administer

Use your pen on the same day each week.
You can inject at any time of day, with or without meals.
To help remember, mark your dosing day on a calendar.
If you need to change the dosing day, ensure at least 3 days have passed since your last injection and then continue with once-weekly dosing.

How to Inject Using 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 stomach, thigh, or upper arm. If you inject insulin, use a different site.
Application: Remove the pen cap, clean the injection area with an alcohol swab, and attach a new pen needle.
Injection: Hold the pen at a 90-degree angle, press the button to inject, and keep it in place for at least 5 seconds.
Aftercare: Dispose of the needle and pen according to your healthcare provider’s instructions. Rotate injection sites to prevent irritation.

Additional Information

Mounjaro is taken once a week. Maintain your current dose if you are satisfied with your weight loss and not experiencing side effects. If side effects occur, consult with our clinical team for further advice.

After completing our online consultation form, you can securely purchase Mounjaro 15mg injection from courierpharmacy.co.uk.

Who should not use Mounjaro 15mg injection?

Contraindications

Do not use the Mounjaro KwikPen if you are allergic to tirzepatide or any other ingredients in the medicine. Check the product information leaflet for details.

Warnings and Precautions

Speak with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before using Mounjaro if you have severe digestive issues or delayed stomach emptying, including severe gastroparesis.
Do not use if you have a history of pancreatitis, which causes persistent severe stomach and back pain.
Avoid using if you suffer from eye conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or macular edema.
If you are taking a sulfonylurea or insulin, Mounjaro can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your doctor may adjust your dosage to minimize this risk.
When starting Mounjaro, you might experience dehydration due to vomiting, nausea, or diarrhea, which can affect kidney function. Drink plenty of fluids and contact your doctor if you have concerns.

Age and Reproductive Considerations

This medicine is not recommended for children or adolescents under 18, as it has not been studied in this age group.
Mounjaro should not be used during pregnancy because its effects on an unborn child are unknown. If you are pregnant, suspect pregnancy, or plan to conceive, consult your doctor before using this medicine and use contraception while on Mounjaro.
Women who are overweight or obese and using oral contraceptives should consider using a barrier method or switching to non-oral contraception for 4 weeks after starting Mounjaro and after each dose increase.

Breastfeeding

The transfer of tirzepatide into breast milk is unknown. If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed, consult your doctor to decide whether to stop breastfeeding or postpone treatment.

Driving and Operating Machinery

While Mounjaro generally does not impair your ability to drive or operate machinery, combining it with sulfonylureas or insulin may cause low blood sugar, reducing concentration. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you experience signs of hypoglycemia such as headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, hunger, confusion, irritability, rapid heartbeat, or sweating.

Additional Information

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

Does Mounjaro 15mg interact with other medicines?

Tirzepatide and Drug Absorption

Tirzepatide can slow stomach emptying, which may affect the absorption of other oral medications, especially when you first begin treatment.

Paracetamol

When taken with tirzepatide, the peak concentration (Cmax) of paracetamol is reduced by 50% and takes about an extra hour to reach its peak (tmax).
No adjustment to the paracetamol dose is necessary.
The impact on paracetamol absorption depends on the tirzepatide dose. Lower doses (0.5 and 1.5 mg) only slightly alter paracetamol levels, and after four weekly doses of tirzepatide (5/5/8/10 mg), paracetamol’s Cmax, tmax, and overall exposure (AUC) remain unchanged.

Oral Contraceptives

A single 5 mg dose of tirzepatide may reduce the peak concentration 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 clinically significant for women with a normal BMI, so no dose adjustment is needed.

Special Considerations for Overweight or Obese Women Using Oral Contraceptives

Limited data exist on how tirzepatide affects oral contraceptives in overweight or obese women, so reduced effectiveness cannot be ruled out.
It is advised to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method or use a barrier method for 4 weeks when starting tirzepatide and after each dose increase.
