The
Mounjaro KwikPen is a pre-filled, multi-dose injection pen containing the active ingredient tirzepatide, used for managing type 2 diabetes and as a once-weekly injection for chronic weight management in adults.
Key Features and Usage
Active Ingredient: Tirzepatide, which mimics the natural GLP-1 and GIP hormones to regulate appetite, promote feelings of fullness, and improve blood sugar control.
Administration: It is a once-weekly self-injection administered subcutaneously (under the skin) in the stomach area, thigh, or upper arm.
Dosing: Each KwikPen contains 4 fixed doses (a month's supply) of a specific strength. Doses are gradually increased over time (titration) from a starting dose of 2.5 mg to a potential maximum of 15 mg.
Mechanism: By binding to GLP-1 and GIP receptors, it helps slow stomach emptying and reduces appetite and cravings, leading to lower calorie intake and significant weight loss when combined with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
Efficacy: Studies have shown patients using Mounjaro can lose a significant percentage of their body weight, with results varying by the dose used and duration of treatment.
