If prescribed, it’s important that Mounjaro® is used alongside healthy lifestyle changes, such as more physical activity and a reduced calorie diet.

How does Mounjaro work?

Mounjaro works by mimicking the actions of the hormones normally found in the small intestine (GLP-1 and GIP) and, by doing so, causes insulin to release from your pancreas. This has the following effect on your body:

• Suppresses appetite – GLP-1 affects the regulation of appetite
• Regulates blood sugar – Glucagon (the hormone that can raise blood sugar) is blocked, helping you to feel fuller for longer
• Food leaves your stomach slower – Slows down digestion so you may eat smaller portions
