Mounjaro is a self-injectable pen designed to support sustained weight loss. It contains tirzepatide, which helps regulate blood sugar, curbs your appetite, and helps to prevent food cravings. It’s this feature of Mounjaro that has made it so revolutionary, it helps people naturally eat fewer calories and feel empowered when they begin to make lifestyle changes.
Mounjaro can help you achieve lasting weight loss, but it can’t do it all for you. To really see results it takes a full commitment to not just start eating differently, but also moving more and looking after your health. This means that when you stop taking Mounjaro, you don’t put all of the weight you’ve lost back on and you stay close to your ideal weight.
When you work with Slendr we’ll give you the tools you need to stick with these changes, support you as you go through the process and help you lose weight for good. No more fad diets that leave you feeling frustrated and back where you started.

How Does Mounjaro Work?
Mounjaro works by activating two key receptors in the body: GLP-1 and GIP. These receptors help boost the levels of incretins, which are hormones that play a role in controlling insulin production and appetite. By stimulating these receptors, Mounjaro helps your body make more insulin when necessary, decreases the amount of glucose produced by the liver, and slows down digestion. Together, these effects help lower reduce appetite, making it easier to manage your weight.
This effect is what makes Mounjaro so popular for weight loss. As you use the medication you ‘ll find yourself generally eating less without the feelings of restriction that you find on other diets.
Is Mounjaro Safe?
Mounjaro has been approved for use in adults with type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight management in individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35. As with any medication, it’s essential to use Mounjaro under the guidance of a healthcare professional to ensure it’s appropriate for your specific health needs. That’s why when you work with us, you have trained pharmacists available to help guide you through using the medication and making sure you’re safe.
If you ever experience side effects you can always speak to our team who will help you with dosage and tips on managing symptoms.
How Long Do Mounjaro Side Effects Last?
As with any medication, some individuals may experience side effects when starting Mounjaro, such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. These side effects are typically mild to moderate and tend to get better as your body becomes accustomed to the medication.
If side effects persist or become bothersome you should let your pharmacist know at your check-in appointments so we can make changes to your medication and give you advice on managing symptoms.
How Long Does Mounjaro Take to Work?
How fast Mounjaro works varies from individual to individual, the same as with any weight loss programme or medication.
Some patients notice changes in their appetite within the first month of treatment. To see significant weight loss changes, consistency is key. Remember that weight loss is a gradual process, and combining Mounjaro with healthy lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise, can enhance its effectiveness.
