Frequently asked
How much weight can you lose on Mounjaro?
In trials (SURMOUNT-1), tirzepatide produced an average 22% body weight loss at 72 weeks at the highest dose. This is the highest weight-loss efficacy of any FDA-approved medication to date.
What's the difference between Mounjaro and Zepbound?
Same molecule (tirzepatide), different FDA-approved indications. Mounjaro is approved for type 2 diabetes; Zepbound is approved for chronic weight management. Identical drug, identical dose options. Insurance coverage can differ dramatically depending on which is prescribed.
Mounjaro vs. Ozempic — which works better?
Tirzepatide outperformed semaglutide in head-to-head trials (~22% vs ~15% body weight loss). Tirzepatide also tends to be better tolerated by some patients. Insurance coverage and provider experience often dictate which a patient ends up on.
How long can you stay on Mounjaro?
Indefinitely if tolerated. Discontinuation typically results in 60%+ weight regain within a year without significant lifestyle change. GLP-1/GIP medications are now generally considered chronic therapy, not short-term tools.
What are Mounjaro side effects?
Nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea are most common — usually subside within 8 weeks. Pancreatitis and gallbladder disease are rare but serious. Muscle loss is common without protein and resistance training. Boxed warning for thyroid C-cell tumors is theoretical.
