Are you wondering if Mounjaro can help you shed some pounds? You’re not alone. Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a medication that’s been making headlines for its impressive weight loss benefits. But can Mounjaro be prescribed for weight loss on its own?
What Is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro was originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes.
However, many patients taking Mounjaro for diabetes have also experienced significant weight loss, which has sparked interest in its potential as a weight loss medication.
How Does Mounjaro Work for Weight Loss?
Mounjaro works by mimicking the effects of certain hormones that regulate blood sugar and appetite. It helps to:
- Control Blood Sugar: Keeps your blood sugar levels in check.
- Reduce Appetite: Makes you feel full, so you eat less.
- Slow Digestion: Food stays in your stomach longer, which helps you feel satisfied for longer periods.
These effects can make it easier to stick to a reduced-calorie diet and lose weight.
Can Mounjaro Be Prescribed for Weight Loss?
Yes, Mounjaro can be prescribed for weight loss through QuickMD, even if you don’t have diabetes.
Doctors may prescribe it ‘off-label,’ which means using a medication for a purpose other than what it was approved for if they believe it’s a good fit for your weight loss goals.
What Results Can You Expect?
Clinical studies have shown that people taking Mounjaro can lose a significant amount of weight. Some study participants lost up to 15-20% of their body weight over several months.
