Mounjaro is a revolutionary new weight loss medication, launched in the UK in February 2024. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, it has recently gained attention as an effective weight loss treatment. Clinical studies show that patients can lose up to 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks with Mounjaro. It has also been proven to be up to six times more effective than diet and exercise alone.
At Longridge Travel Health Clinic, we offer Mounjaro alongside a private consultation to ensure your questions are answered and your treatment plan is tailored to your needs. Located just outside of Preston, our clinic provides personalised care and expert guidance to support you through every step of your Mounjaro journey.
What is Mounjaro and how does it work?
Mounjaro is a prescription weight loss medication that contains the active ingredient tirzepatide. It was originally developed to help manage type 2 diabetes, but it is now licensed in the UK for weight management following a clinical assessment.
What makes Mounjaro different from other treatments is its dual-action mechanism. Tirzepatide activates two key hormone receptors in the body:
- GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1): Reduces appetite and slows digestion.
- GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide): Enhances insulin sensitivity and strengthens the effects of GLP-1.
By targeting both receptors, Mounjaro works in several ways:
- Reduces hunger between meals
- Helps you feel fuller for longer
- Slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach
- Improves blood sugar control, reducing cravings and energy crashes
This combined effect can make it easier to reduce your calorie intake and lose weight in a more sustainable way. Mounjaro is becoming a trusted option for long-term weight management when diet and exercise alone haven’t worked.
