Discover the Power of Mounjaro for Weight Loss at Puri Pharmacy

Managing weight can feel like a constant uphill battle. Whether you’re in Southall or Hillingdon, finding a genuinely working solution might seem challenging. That’s where Mounjaro KwikPen, an innovative weight loss medication, changes the game. Available at Puri Pharmacy, this groundbreaking treatment is helping people achieve significant results.

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro KwikPen, scientifically known as tirzepatide, was initially designed to treat type 2 diabetes. However, patients experienced a remarkable side benefit during clinical trials: substantial weight loss! This discovery led to its approval in the UK as a weight management solution for those living with obesity or struggling to shed extra weight.

At Puri Pharmacy, we’re proud to offer Mounjaro KwikPen as part of our commitment to helping the communities of Southall and Hillingdon live healthier lives.

How Does Mounjaro Work?

The secret behind Mounjaro’s weight loss success lies in its ability to mimic two natural hormones:

  • GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)
  • GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)

These hormones are critical in regulating blood sugar, curbing appetite, and slowing digestion. By activating both, Mounjaro helps you feel fuller for longer, reduces food cravings, and supports controlled eating habits. This dual-action approach sets it apart from other weight loss medications.

How Effective is Mounjaro?

Clinical trials have shown exceptional results. In a 72-week study, participants taking the highest dose of Mounjaro lost an average of 22% of their body weight paired with lifestyle changes. Imagine the impact on your health, energy levels, and confidence!

At Puri Pharmacy, we’ve seen how this treatment has transformed the lives of patients in Southall and Hillingdon. By combining Mounjaro with personalised support, the results speak for themselves.

How is Mounjaro Administered?

One of the best parts about Mounjaro is its simplicity. It’s a once-weekly injection delivered through a convenient device called the KwikPen. Our pharmacists at Puri Pharmacy will guide you on how to use it safely and effectively. Whether you’re based in Southall or Hillingdon, our team is here to support you every step of the way.

Who Can Use Mounjaro?

Mounjaro is recommended for adults struggling with obesity or who are overweight and have weight-related health conditions. Our pharmacists at Puri Pharmacy will conduct a thorough assessment to determine if it fits you. This includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, and lifestyle habits. We will also check your Body Mass Index (BMI) to guide us in your consultation.

For patients in Southall and Hillingdon, Puri Pharmacy offers a local, trusted service to help you start your weight loss journey confidently.

A Guide to Mounjaro Dosage

Mounjaro is a convenient, pre-filled injection pen designed for easy use. Its active ingredient is tirzepatide, available in a range of strengths: 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, and 15mg.

Where and How to Inject Mounjaro

Mounjaro is administered weekly through a subcutaneous injection (under the skin). You can inject it into three common areas:

  • Stomach (abdomen)
  • Thigh
  • Upper arm

This flexibility allows you to choose the injection site that feels most comfortable.

Starting Your Mounjaro Journey

You’ll begin with a low dose of 2.5mg to ensure your body adjusts smoothly. Your dose will gradually increase over the next few weeks, typically in four-week intervals, until you reach your maintenance dose. The maintenance dose depends on your individual needs but is usually 5mg, 10mg, or a maximum of 15mg.

Why the Gradual Increase?

Starting low and increasing gradually helps your body adapt to the medication and reduces the risk of potential side effects. This step-by-step approach is designed to ensure both safety and effectiveness as you work towards your health goals.

Are There Any Side Effects?

As with any medication, Mounjaro may cause side effects, especially when starting treatment or adjusting doses. Common symptoms include:

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhoea
  • Constipation

Most of these effects are mild and improve over time. At Puri Pharmacy, our pharmacists are always on hand to answer your questions and provide guidance if you experience discomfort. You can learn more about the side effects of Mounjaro KwikPen in our blog.

When you receive your supply from us, you must keep your Mounjaro KwikPen in the refrigerator between 2ºC – 8ºC.  Protect the medicine from light and do not freeze. After first use, you may store your KwikPen at room temperature up to 30°C and dispose of it after 30 days.

The starting dose of Mounjaro is always 2.5mg, once a week, for 4 weeks. This applies whether you are:

  • Starting treatment for the first time,
  • Restarting after a break from Mounjaro, or
  • Switching from another weight loss injection.

Each pen contains 4 doses, so your first pen will last for 4 weeks.

Mounjaro was approved for weight loss by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in November 2023.

As of February 2024, it is available to purchase in Puri Pharmacy with a prescription written by our Independent Prescribing Pharmacist

On average, Mounjaro patients can expect the following weight loss:

  • 6% of body weight after 2 months
  • 9% of body weight after 3 months
  • 11% of body weight after 4 months
  • Around 21% of body weight by the 18-month mark

However, long-term success depends on incorporating healthier habits into your lifestyle to maintain weight loss.

Alcohol doesn’t have a known direct interaction with Mounjaro, but caution is advised. Alcohol can affect blood sugar levels, increasing the risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or spikes, especially for those with diabetes. Since Mounjaro manages blood sugar and appetite, drinking alcohol may interfere with its effectiveness. To stay safe, consider limiting or avoiding alcohol during treatment.

It’s best to avoid diet soda or other fizzy drinks while using Mounjaro. They can cause bloating and stomach pain, worsening the medication’s side effects.

While diet sodas are sugar-free and low in calories, they contain artificial sweeteners that aren’t recommended with Mounjaro. Instead, use water or unsweetened tea to stay hydrated and minimize side effects.

  • Wegovy (semaglutide): Approved for weight loss; reduces hunger by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone. It can lead to up to 15% weight loss over 68 weeks.
  • Ozempic (semaglutide): Approved for type 2 diabetes; lowers blood sugar and has secondary weight loss benefits.
  • Mounjaro (tirzepatide): Approved for type 2 diabetes and weight loss; targets GLP-1 and GIP hormones, offering up to 21% weight loss over 72 weeks.

Key takeaway: Wegovy and Mounjaro are for weight loss, while Ozempic is for diabetes. Mounjaro has the highest weight loss potential.
