“Mounjaro, has really helped me regulate my food intake, and is making me start to understand what foods my body actually needs. I have recommended this to everyone who is the type of person that is always hungry, and can't understand people who leave food and are never hungry. Thank you for opening my eyes and starting me on my journey to a healthy weight.”
“Working great. First 2 weeks I was a little fatigued and nauseous. However this settled and coming to the end of week 4 I have great suppression and few other side effects.”
“I need a higher dose and it is annoying that as a larger guy I can not move more swiftly to a higher dose. In the first month j have lost no weight at all despite following recommended lifestyle changes.”
Hi Sam,
Thank you for your order and for taking the time to provide your feedback.
As a fully regulated online pharmacy, we want to ensure that all medication that we provide is safe, effective, and appropriate for our patients and to help with this we use a series of clinical guidelines to ensure a consistent decision is made for all of our patients.
The manufacturer of Mounjaro specifically recommends that patients are initiated on 2.5mg weekly before further increments. So to start on a higher does would be to go against what is recommended in all of the clinical trial data and also in the product literature which has been approved by the MHRA and NICE.
This is the initiation dose and as this treatment is a longer term process we would expect weight to be lost faster at the higher doses of this medication.
Higher dosages are correlated with a greater risk of experiencing side effects - part of why the guidelines recommend a slow increase is to ensure that you can continue to get the best from the medication as weight loss happens when you are on treatment. Stopping prematurely due to side effects would impinge on your results.
It is also important to note that everyone is individual and results will vary. Some will see more weight loss than others though the trial data from the pivotal SURMOUT trials shows that weight loss is seen over a longer than a month time period so you will continue to see weight loss with time on treatment.
I can see that our clinical team contacted you to discuss this last week and we have not yet heard from you however our support team have contacted you again directly to offer further assistance.
“I can’t believe how much Mounjaro has made a difference to my life. I’ve struggled with sugar cravings and overeating/emotional eating for most of my life. Mounjaro has curbed my appetite and completely stopped my cravings, I’ve been able to manage sensible lifestyle changes and to eat better without constant food noise.”
