Mounjaro® Weight Management Pens — Now Available from Your Pharmacist
Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)
What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro can help you:
Feel fuller for longer
Reduce hunger and food cravings
Eat less
Support weight loss and weight maintenance
Mounjaro is not a quick fix and works best as part of a long-term approach to healthy weight management.

BMI of 30 or above, or

Your pharmacist will assess your individual health, medical history and medicines before prescribing.
How is Mounjaro taken?
Mounjaro is injected once a week, under the skin of the abdomen or thigh.

The maximum dose is 15 mg once weekly.
Your pharmacist will show you how to use your Mounjaro pen correctly.
