Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is a dual-action medication that targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors. It helps reduce appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control, leading to significant weight loss.

Mounjaro is administered as a once-weekly injection using a pre-filled pen. The injection is given under the skin (subcutaneously) in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm area.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, and decreased appetite. These are usually mild and temporary, often improving as your body adjusts to the medication.

Clinical studies show that patients using Mounjaro can lose 15-20% of their body weight on average. Individual results may vary based on factors such as starting weight, diet, and lifestyle changes.

Wegovy (Semaglutide) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that mimics a naturally occurring hormone to help regulate appetite and food intake. It's clinically proven to help achieve significant weight loss.

Wegovy is administered as a once-weekly injection using a pre-filled pen. The injection is given under the skin (subcutaneously) in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm area.

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain, and decreased appetite. These side effects are usually mild and tend to improve over time.

Clinical studies show that patients using Wegovy can lose an average of 15% of their body weight. Some patients lose even more, with results varying based on individual factors.
