Get a Prescription for Mounjaro. Average Weight Loss: 21.4% (49 lbs)

Mounjaro (similar to Ozempic) is self-administered into the fat tissue by a pen injector once a week. The medication can be picked up at any pharmacy that carries it (just like any other medication), and it does not have to be administered by a healthcare professional.

The injection itself is easy to do but may cause some minimal pain or discomfort. Some of our patients prefer if a family member helps with the injection.

The dose depends on each person’s tolerance to the medication, but generally each month the medication dose will be increased, until a maintenance dose is achieved after 3 months.

The initial prescriptions are for 4 weeks. Each month the tolerance to the medication and the current dose is assessed, and the dose will be increased depending on effect and possible side effects. The maximum tolerable maintence dose is usually achieved after about 4-6 months.  At that time, the provider can send a prescription for 2 months at a time. The medication is taken for as long as it is beneficial to the patient, and can even be taken long-term to maintain weight (if stopping the medication causes weight gain).

It only costs $75 per online consultation, which includes the prescription that will be sent to your pharmacy–no hidden fees.

The prescription will have to generally be paid for by the patient at the pharmacy, since most insurance companies do not cover this medication for weight loss. The FDA fast-tracked the approval of this medication for weight loss, but even if approved, many insurances will not cover it. The price of Mounjaro is around $1,000 per 4 pens (1 month) with coupon. Patients can try to get a savings card directly from Mounjaro to get a more affordable price.

Mounjaro and Ozempic/Wegovy are new medications under patent and are therefore not yet available as a cheaper generic form. And like most weight loss strategies (apart from dieting and exercising), they are quite expensive. Some insurances may cover them, but many do not.

A package usually contains 4 Mounjaro pens, which is enough medication for 1 month. Ozempic pens, on the other hand, tend to have a higher dose, so the injected amount can be adjusted and the pen can be used to inject multiple doses. This makes Ozempic generally more affordable. 

The cost of Wegovy is currently around $250 per injection with a pharmacy coupon.

The manufacturer offers a savings card that can be applied, which—if approved—can save patients more money on this medication.

Shortly after your visit with our weight loss team, we will send an electronic prescription to your pharmacy of choice–generally this transmission is instant. Once received, most pharmacies will take roughly an hour to process the prescription and associate it with your pharmacy patient profile.

Some pharmacies will have to order Mounjaro, which generally takes a few days.

Please note that we are unable to verify beforehand which pharmacies have the medication in stock and which ones would have to order it. It is a good idea to call your pharmacy beforehand to ask if the medication is available at that particular location.

Absolutely! This medication is meant to aid traditional weight-loss efforts like dieting and exercise and should be taken in addition to a calorie-deficit diet and regular exercising.

Please note that dieting and exercising are always preferred for weight loss over taking medications. However, because obesity can have harmful long-term effects on the body, medication can benefit overweight patients when dieting and exercising has been unsuccessful.
