What is Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) KwikPen?
Mounjaro is a weight loss injection containing dual medication called Tirzepatide: GIP and GLP-1.
GLP-1 helps users by making them feel a reduction in appetite, promoting a feeling of fullness and delaying stomach emptying by binding to GLP-1 receptors in the body. GIP helps to reduce fat accumulation, increase bone formation and glucagon production and also reduces stomach acid.
How does Mounjaro/Tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide works on two different hormonal receptors – GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependant insulinotropic polypeptide).
GLP-1 plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, communicating with the brain to reduce hunger sensations and mitigate cravings. Moreover, it slows down stomach emptying, prolonging the feeling of fullness.
Conversely, GIP is instrumental in maintaining energy balance within both brain and fat cells. It complements the appetite-suppressing effects of GLP-1 and enhances sugar regulation processes.
The full patient information leaflet for Mounjaro can be found here.
Unlike SAXENDA, Tirzepatide only needs to be treated once weekly making it an easier treatment to adhere to than daily injections.
What Dose do I Take of the Mounjaro Kwikpen?
The Mounjaro weight loss injection comes in a prefilled pen. This pen allows you to inject the drug yourself.
Each Mounjaro pen has 4 fixed doses, one injection dose of 0.6ml taken weekly.
You should use a new needle every time when injecting yourself with this drug. After 4 doses the pen should be disposed of. Each starter pack comes with a pack of 100 single use insulin pen needles and 4 swabs.
There are six different Mounjaro pen strengths. All contain 4 doses of 2.5 mg/0.6 mL the drug, but the pens give different doses.
WEEKS 1 to 4 – Inject 2.5mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK – Starter Pen
WEEKS 5 to 8 – Inject 5mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK
WEEKS 9 to 12 – Inject 7.5mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK
WEEKS 13 to 16 – Inject 10mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK
WEEKS 17 to 20 – Inject 12.5mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK
WEEKS 21 ONWARDS – MAINTENANCE DOSE – Inject 15mg on the same day ONCE A WEEK
If you are a woman with obesity or overweight and are using oral contraceptives, you should consider also using a barrier method of contraception (e.g., a condom) or switching to a non-oral contraceptive method for 4 weeks after starting Mounjaro and for 4 weeks after each increase in dose.
