What Is Mounjaro® 12.5 mg?
Mounjaro® contains tirzepatide, a medicine that activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These naturally occurring hormone pathways are involved in regulating appetite, food intake, and blood-glucose levels.
The 12.5 mg strength is one of the available maintenance doses. The appropriate dose and any adjustments should always be determined by a qualified healthcare professional based on the authorised product information and the individual patient’s circumstances.
Supporting Weight Management
For eligible adults, tirzepatide may be prescribed as part of a comprehensive weight-management programme alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Treatment responses differ between individuals, so ongoing healthcare-professional supervision is important.
