Mounjaro Weight Loss Treatment in Hull
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable weight loss treatment available as part of our pharmacist-led weight management programme at Wilberforce Pharmacy, Hull.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable medication licensed for type 2 diabetes and increasingly used under medical supervision for weight management. It belongs to a class of medicines called GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists.
It works by reducing appetite, increasing feelings of fullness, slowing stomach emptying, helping regulate blood sugar levels and reducing food cravings. Mounjaro targets two hormone pathways, which may enhance appetite control and metabolic regulation compared to older GLP-1 medications.
