- How does Mounjaro compare with Ozempic and Wegovy?
- All three are GLP-1-based weekly injections. Mounjaro also acts on GIP, and head-to-head trials show larger average weight loss than semaglutide. Ozempic is approved for diabetes, Wegovy for weight loss, and Mounjaro for diabetes with common off-label weight use.
- Do I need to refrigerate it?
- Yes before first use. After first use you can keep the pen at room temperature below 30 °C for up to 30 days, then discard it. Never freeze it.
- Are needles included?
- No. You need compatible pen needles, usually 4 mm or 8 mm 32G, bought separately. Your prescriber or pharmacist can confirm the right size.
- How is the dose increased?
- Most people start at 2.5 mg weekly for four weeks, then step up roughly every four weeks to 5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 and 15 mg as tolerated. The 10 mg pen holds four 10 mg doses.
- Can I use it if I have thyroid problems?
- It is not recommended with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN2. Tell your prescriber about any thyroid disease before starting.
