Mounjaro is a medicine that contains an active substance called tirzepatide. Mounjaro is used to treat adults, adolescents and children aged 10 years and above with type 2 diabetes mellitus by reducing the level of sugar in the body only when the levels of sugar are high. Mounjaro is also used for weight loss and weight maintenance in adults.

This will help you eat less food and reduce your body weight.
