How does Mounjaro work?
Similar to Ozempic and Wegovy, Mounjaro works by mimicking the naturally occurring hormone called glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) which is released in the gut in response to food intake and acts as a physiological regulator of appetite.
GLP-1 targets areas of the brain involved in the regulation of appetite and food intake. This can help you eat less, which can lead to weight loss.
Unlike other weight loss medications, Mounjaro is also a Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide receptor agonist (GIP) which works on another hormone in the body used to help regulate your appetite.
