Your Height & Weight

MounjaroMounjaro (tirzepatide) is highly effective for weight loss because it reduces hunger and calorie intake by mimicking two hormones-GLP-1 and GIP-that control appetite and insulin. As the only dual agonist for weight loss, it offers a unique approach, improving both blood sugar regulation and fat metabolism. Clinical studies have shown that Mounjaro leads to significantly greater weight loss than other treatments, with participants losing up to 22.5% of their body weight. This makes Mounjaro a strong option for obesity treatment, providing significant results with the added convenience of a once-weekly injection.* is currently authorised for adult patients with:
  • A Body Mass IndexBody Mass Index(BMI) is a simple way to check if your weight is healthy for your height. It's a number that comes from dividing your weight (in kilograms) by your height (in metres) squared and gives a general idea of whether your weight could be affecting your health. (BMI) of 30kg/m² or more
  • A BMI between 27-30kg/m² (overweight) who also have weight-related health problems (these are listed later in this consultation form)
