MOUNJARO (tirzepatide) is a novel injectable medication designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus in adults. It works by acting on two incretin hormones, GIP and GLP-1, to regulate insulin secretion and glucose production. This dual receptor agonist has been shown to significantly improve blood sugar control in clinical trials. MOUNJARO is administered subcutaneously once a week and is intended for use in combination with diet and exercise to achieve optimal glycemic control.
As a cutting-edge therapy, MOUNJARO has demonstrated promising results in managing type 2 diabetes by not only improving blood sugar levels but also supporting weight loss. It offers an important option for patients who have not achieved sufficient control with other diabetes medications. Its efficacy and safety profile make it a valuable treatment choice for many individuals with type 2 diabetes.
MOUNJARO is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
