At Neils Pharmacy, Mounjaro® (tirzepatide) may be considered as part of our private, prescriber-led weight management clinic in Prescot. This service is designed for adults who are finding it difficult to achieve meaningful weight loss through diet and lifestyle changes alone and may benefit from additional clinical support.

👩‍⚕️ Treatment is provided only following a full clinical consultation with a Pharmacist Independent Prescriber, ensuring it is safe, appropriate, and tailored to your individual needs.

What Is Mounjaro® (Tirzepatide)?

Mounjaro® contains tirzepatide, an injectable medicine that works on two key hormone pathways involved in appetite and metabolism:

• GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1)
• GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide)

By acting on both pathways, Mounjaro can help regulate appetite, increase feelings of fullness, and support healthier eating behaviours when used as part of a structured weight-management programme.

How Does Mounjaro® Work?

Mounjaro may support weight loss through several mechanisms:

🍽️ Reducing appetite and food cravings

✅ Increasing satiety (feeling full)

⏳ Slowing gastric emptying

🩸 Supporting blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity

These combined effects can help support a calorie-controlled diet and more sustainable lifestyle changes.

Who Is Mounjaro® Suitable For?

Mounjaro may be suitable for adults who:

⚖️ Have a BMI of 30 or above (obesity)

🫀 Have a BMI of 27 or above (overweight) with a weight-related health condition
