How much weight can I lose with Mounjaro?

The SURMOUNT clinical studies show impressive results: participants lost an average of 15 to 22.5% of their body weight. At the highest dosage of 15 mg, the average weight loss was 22.5% after 72 weeks. Specifically, at a starting weight of 100 kg, a weight loss of 15 to 22.5 kg is possible. Most weight loss occurs between months 3 and 9, with maximum effect after 12 to 18 months. The best results are achieved in combination with a healthier diet and exercise.

Who is Mounjaro suitable for?

Mounjaro is suitable for adults (18+) with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher in combination with weight-related conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes. It is especially suitable for people who did not achieve sufficient results with semaglutide, or who want to maximize weight loss. Not suitable during pregnancy, type 1 diabetes, family history of medullary thyroid cancer, pancreatitis, or severe allergy to tirzepatide. Our BIG-registered doctors always assess your situation.

What are the most common side effects of Mounjaro?

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal related: nausea (15–20% of users), diarrhea (13–16%), vomiting (6–9%), and constipation (6–7%). They are strongest in the first few weeks and with each dose increase, but usually disappear as your body gets used to it. Tips: eat smaller portions, avoid fatty or heavy foods, and drink enough water. Rare but serious side effects such as pancreatitis require immediate medical attention.

How quickly does Mounjaro work?

Mounjaro starts working immediately, but the visible effects on appetite and weight usually appear within the first few weeks. After three months, most users notice a clear difference. The maximum effect is achieved after 12 to 18 months of use, once the maintenance dose is established. As the dosage gradually increases, the effects build progressively - consistency and a healthier lifestyle accelerate the results.

What if I forget a dose?

Did you forget an injection? Take it as soon as possible if less than 4 days have passed. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the dose and continue on the next scheduled day. Never double the dose. Set a weekly reminder on your phone to help prevent this - consistent use helps you get the best results with Mounjaro.

Do I need to adjust my lifestyle when using Mounjaro?

Mounjaro works best as part of a broader approach. In all clinical studies, participants combined tirzepatide with healthy eating and regular exercise - this resulted in significantly better outcomes. The dual-action mechanism of Mounjaro makes it easier to eat less and burn fat. Use that advantage to build sustainable habits: a varied diet, strength training, sufficient sleep, and stress management.

How does Mounjaro compare to Ozempic and Wegovy?

Ozempic and Wegovy contain semaglutide and work on one hormone: GLP-1. Mounjaro contains tirzepatide and acts on two hormones at the same time: GLP-1 and GIP. This additional feature makes Mounjaro on average more effective - clinical studies show 15–22.5% weight loss versus 15–17% with Wegovy. Mounjaro also has a higher maximum dosage (15 mg per week) and a longer buildup period of 20 weeks. The choice depends on your personal situation; our doctors assist in determining what suits you best.

Do I need a prescription for Mounjaro?

Yes, Mounjaro is a prescription medication. At Menkind, you complete an online medical questionnaire that is evaluated by a BIG-registered Dutch physician. If Wegovy is suitable for you, you will receive a prescription and your medication will be discreetly delivered to your home. The entire process is 100% online.
