Mounjaro Kwikpen 15mg/ 0.6ml Prefilled Pen 1's

Description

Mounjaro is a prescription drug that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. Mounjaro is prescribed to be taken along with a balanced diet and exercise which help manage blood sugar levels in adults with type 2 diabetes.

The active ingredient Tirzepatide works by activating two receptors called GLP-1 and GIP to increase the level of incretins – hormones - in the body. It works by helping your body to produce more insulin when needed. It also reduces the amount of glucose, or sugar, produced by the liver, and slows down how quickly food is digested. This all helps to lower blood sugar levels and HbA1c.

The drug comes as a liquid solution in a prefilled pen -1 pen containing 2.4 ml solution for injection for subcutaneous use that can be administered (4 doses) under your skin, typically once per week or as directed by your doctor. You can inject the solution under the skin of your abdomen or front of your thigh or on the back of your upper arm (with a caregiver).
