Description
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a prescription medication used to support weight loss in people who are overweight or living with obesity. Its active ingredient is tirzepatide, which mimics two naturally occurring hormones in the body: GLP-1 and GIP.
These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels, slow down digestion, and reduce appetite—making it easier for you to feel full, eat less, and lose weight effectively over time.
Mounjaro is taken as a once-weekly injection and is suitable for people who meet specific medical criteria. It’s most effective when combined with a healthy diet, regular activity, and guidance from a healthcare professional.
At Everslim, our clinical team will assess your eligibility and help you get started safely, if appropriate.
