Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are weekly injections used for weight management, but they're not identical.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide)
- Works on two hormones — GIP and GLP-1
- Clinical trials have shown average weight loss of around 20%+ at the highest doses over 72 weeks
- Doses range from 2.5mg to 15mg, increased gradually
Wegovy (semaglutide)
- Works on one hormone — GLP-1
- Clinical trials have shown average weight loss of around 15% over 68 weeks
- Doses range from 0.25mg to 2.4mg, increased gradually
Both are evidence-based, NICE-recognised treatments. The right one for you depends on your medical history, eligibility, tolerance, and clinical assessment. Your prescriber will recommend the most suitable option during your consultation.
