Mounjaro KwikPen contains tirzepatide, a GIP and GLP-1 weight loss injection. It is used for weight management in adults who meet BMI and health criteria, alongside diet and exercise.
How it works
It mimics two natural hormones that reduce appetite and help control blood sugar.
How to use it
Inject once a week under the skin, on the same day each week. The dose is increased gradually. Always read the patient information leaflet before use.
Before you use it
Not suitable in pregnancy or for people with certain thyroid or pancreatic conditions. It can reduce how well oral contraceptives work, so extra contraception may be needed. The prescriber will check eligibility.
Possible side effects
Feeling sick, diarrhoea, constipation and indigestion are common, especially when increasing the dose.
