Mounjaro weight loss treatment in Glasgow

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a prescription medicine approved for weight management. It belongs to a class of medications that influence hormones regulating appetite and blood sugar levels.

When combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, Mounjaro can help support weight loss. It works by helping you feel fuller for longer, reducing appetite, and slowing down the emptying of your stomach. Mounjaro is part of our private weight management services in Glasgow, which include lifestyle support and ongoing pharmacist guidance.

If you would like a plain-English explainer, you can read our article on what Mounjaro is and how it helps with weight loss.

Mounjaro is only available with a prescription from a qualified healthcare professional, such as our registered pharmacists at Carmunnock Pharmacy.

How It Works

How Mounjaro Works

Understanding the mechanism of action

Regulates Appetite

Mounjaro targets hormones in your brain that control hunger and satiety, helping you feel fuller for longer and reducing food cravings.

Slows Digestion

The medication slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, which helps you feel satisfied for longer periods after eating.

Blood Sugar Control

Mounjaro also helps regulate blood sugar levels, which can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes or pre-diabetes.

Eligibility

Who May Mounjaro Suit?

BMI Requirements

Mounjaro may be suitable for adults with a BMI of 30 or above, or a BMI of 27 or above with at least one weight-related health condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol.

Previous Weight Loss Attempts

If you have tried other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise alone without achieving significant results, Mounjaro may be an option to consider.
