What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is the world's first sustained GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist approved by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2023 as a new treatment for type 2 diabetes. While GLP-1 agonist therapy medications have been marketed as diabetes treatments before, Mounjaro also has the action of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Therefore, it is a drug that can be expected to help control blood sugar, suppress appetite, and support weight loss.

How Hormones in Mounjaro Work
The characteristic of Mounjaro is that it acts on GIP receptors in addition to GLP receptors. GLP-1 and GIP are intestinal hormones that are normally secreted when food is consumed, and they act on the pancreas to promote insulin secretion and lower blood sugar levels.
They promote insulin secretion only when blood sugar is high, so they are said to have a low risk of hypoglycemia and relatively high safety.
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide-1)...Acts on the hypothalamus (satiety center) in the brain to suppress appetite
GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)...Promotes the secretion of glucagon, which in addition to insulin, promotes fat breakdown and suppresses appetite
Feeling full after a meal is due to the secretion of GLP-1 and GIP. By injecting Mounjaro, which combines the effects of both GIP and GLP, it is expected to affect the satiety center and suppress appetite. -
Effects Can Be Expected with Self-Injection Once a Week
The usage is simple, with subcutaneous injection of medication using a pen-type injector once a week. A feature is that one dose of medication is injected just by pressing a button, eliminating the need to set the dosage or handle injection needles. With the effects of Mounjaro, you can naturally reduce your food intake without strict dietary restrictions, leading to weight loss.

Downtime after Mounjaro
Individual responses may vary, but potential side effects include nausea, emesis, anorexia, and general malaise.

FAQ
- Q Is Mounjaro dangerous?
-
A
While the risk of hypoglycemia with Mounjaro is relatively low, if excessive dietary restrictions are implemented in parallel with Mounjaro use, symptoms of hypoglycemia such as dizziness, fatigue, and palpitations may occur. If such symptoms appear, please consult a doctor immediately. Also, if you have a medical history or are taking other medications, please be sure to inform your doctor in advance.
- Q Is the Mounjaro injection painful?
-
A
The Mounjaro needle is thin and short, so the pain is minimal. However, there are individual differences in the perception of pain, so some people may not feel pain while others may feel a slight pain. Compared to other weight loss injections, patients generally report minimal discomfort.
- Q Are there any Mounjaro injection side effects?
-
A
Mounjaro has effects that inhibit gastrointestinal activity, so while it suppresses appetite, gastrointestinal symptoms such as anorexia, nausea, and burping may occur. There are individual differences in the degree and duration of side effects, but it is said that digestive symptoms tend to appear immediately after starting use. Some patients might feel a slight headache or fatigue. If you have any concerning symptoms, please consult your doctor.
- Q Should I stop using it if side effects appear?
-
A
Rather than stopping use based on your own judgment, please consult your doctor. Basically, side effects are temporary and often diminish as your body gets used to the medication. However, if serious symptoms occur, please seek medical attention immediately.
- Q Please explain the difference between Mounjaro and other GLP-1 receptor agonists.
-
A
The difference between Mounjaro and other GLP-1 receptor agonists is the number of hormones they affect. GLP-1 receptor agonists act only on GLP-1, while Mounjaro acts on GIP in addition to GLP-1. Therefore, Mounjaro is expected to have higher efficacy than conventional GLP-1 receptor agonists. Research also shows that gastrointestinal symptoms and other side effects are less likely to occur.
- Q Are there ways to purchase Mounjaro outside of medical institutions?
-
A
Mounjaro cannot be purchased over the counter. It can only be purchased after being examined by a doctor and determined to be suitable. Please avoid using personal imports from overseas or internet where quality is not guaranteed, even if they are cheaper.
- Q Who cannot be prescribed Mounjaro?
-
A
Mounjaro cannot be prescribed to those with a BMI of 22 or less due to its weight reduction effects. Also, if you are taking other diabetes medications along with Mounjaro, there is a possibility of hypoglycemia. Please always inform your doctor before taking, and avoid self-determined combinations. Additionally, it may not be prescribed in cases of severe gastrointestinal disorders as it may affect the digestive system. Patients with liver or gallbladder conditions should discuss this with their doctor. If you have any medical history or medications, please inform your doctor during the examination.
- Q When do the effects of Mounjaro appear?
-
A
The timing of experiencing effects varies from person to person, but many people feel a decrease in appetite after a few days of administration. Blood sugar levels also tend to improve after 1-2 weeks. It's important to understand how long to work with the medication to see optimal results.
- Q When is the best time to administer Mounjaro?
-
A
As long as it's the same day of the week, there is no specific time or timing for administering Mounjaro. The Mounjaro treatment is flexible to fit your schedule.
- Q What should I do if I can't administer Mounjaro as scheduled or if I forget?
-
A
Mounjaro is a medication administered every week on the same day. If you couldn't administer it as scheduled or forgot, administer it immediately if there are 3 days (72 hours) or more until the next scheduled administration date, and then administer the next dose on your regular day. If there are less than 3 days (72 hours) until the next scheduled administration date, do not administer immediately, but wait until your next regular day.
- Q Is Mounjaro covered by insurance?
-
A
Mounjaro is covered by insurance as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. For obesity treatment, it is not covered by insurance and is self-pay.
- Q Please explain the difference between Mounjaro and insulin injections.
-
A
Among other diabetes medications besides Mounjaro, there are insulin injections. This is a method of supplementing insulin by injecting artificially created insulin. Mounjaro is a drug that works to promote the secretion of insulin, which is different from insulin injections.
- Q How should I store Mounjaro?
-
A
Mounjaro is a peptide hormone and may lose its effectiveness due to high temperature or direct sunlight, so careful attention must be paid to storage methods. Basically, it should be stored in the refrigerator and care should be taken not to freeze it. If a refrigerator is not available, it can be stored at room temperature below 30°C for up to 21 days.
