What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro (active ingredient tirzepatide) is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection for weight and obesity management. Unlike conventional GLP-1 shots, it is a dual agonist that acts on both the GLP-1 and GIP incretin hormone receptors at the same time, helping to suppress appetite while also supporting blood-sugar control. Seye Clinic stocks six dose steps from 2.5mg to 15mg and prescribes them gradually to match each person's weight and response.
How it works
Mounjaro mimics the action of GLP-1 and GIP, the incretin hormones released after eating. It stimulates the brain's satiety center to reduce appetite, slows gastric emptying to keep you feeling full longer, and promotes glucose-dependent insulin release to help manage blood sugar. Because it activates two pathways at once, it has been reported to produce greater weight loss than single GLP-1 injections. Treatment begins at a 2.5mg starting dose so the body can adjust, and is usually escalated to the next step after at least four weeks.
Key effects
- Strong appetite suppression through satiety-center stimulation and delayed gastric emptying
- Superior weight loss versus single-agent shots thanks to dual GLP-1/GIP action (trials reported an average ~20% loss over 72 weeks at 15mg)
- Simultaneous management of weight and blood sugar via glucose-dependent insulin control
- Convenient once-weekly injection with minimal disruption to daily life
- Personalized titration across six dose steps from 2.5mg to 15mg
Recommended for
- Those who struggle to control appetite with diet and exercise alone
- Those who need systematic weight management after repeated diet failures
- Those who want to manage high blood sugar (fasting glucose, HbA1c) along with weight
- Those who prefer steady management with a single weekly injection
- Those who want dose adjustment and side-effect management by medical professionals
Mounjaro at Seye Clinic
Before prescribing Mounjaro, Seye Clinic reviews your medical history, current medications, and contraindications in a consultation with the medical team, then sets a starting dose and escalation plan tailored to you. We teach the self-injection technique and pen storage directly, and raise the dose slowly to minimize side effects such as nausea and digestive symptoms. We go beyond simply prescribing the injection, combining dietary and lifestyle coaching to support you through weight maintenance as well.
