WHAT IS MOUNJARO AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

Mounjaro is a combination drug that acts on the GLP-1 receptor along with another receptor in the brain called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These receptors stimulate hormones that control blood sugar levels and reduce appetite, triggering weight loss.

This makes it an important tool when treating obesity and its associated health risks, providing an effective way to help individuals lose weight and keep it off. These actions reduce the appetite, reduce food intake, and result in lower blood glucose.

Mounjaro is a once-weekly subcutaneous injectable, which varies in dosage. Starting at a lower dose and gradually increasing the dose of your injections will mitigate side-effects, help your body adjust to this new medication, and support better results.

UNDERSTANDING OBESITY

There is no one treatment for obesity that is the “best.” However, addressing obesity goes beyond cosmetic concerns; it’s crucial for long-term well-being. Obesity is a complex, chronic disease that affects hundreds of millions of people worldwide, characterized by an excessive accumulation of body fat.

It can lead to many different health conditions, including diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Finding something that works for you can depend on many factors, including your lifestyle and general level of health. Lastly, it’s important to remember that losing excess weight looks different for everyone.

Patients taking Mounjaro report experiencing less food noise, which is when you have constant or recurring ruminations about which foods contribute to overeating and thus living with being overweight and living with obesity. It’s important to note that while these medications may provide benefits, they should be used under the guidance and supervision of healthcare professionals, and lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, should be incorporated for optimal results.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM STARTING MOUNJARO AT SKIN FIVE

Your provider will evaluate whether Mounjaro is a suitable option for you based on your weight, medical history, and personal weight and aesthetic goals.

Your injector will go over where they will place the injections and how they are distributed as well as answer any additional questions you may have. The appointment for each injection typically takes about 15 minutes or less, and the injections are over in an instant. Most patients experience very little discomfort during the treatment session. The most common side effects were mild-to-moderate nausea, diarrhea and constipation and occurred primarily during the dose escalation period.
