Mounjaro can be prescribed for glycemic control of adult patients with type II diabetes.

Mounjaro (generic name: tirzepatide) is an injectable prescription medicine that is used to treat adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is prescribed along with diet and exercise to improve control of blood sugar levels. Mounjaro can be used as a single therapy or with other diabetes medicines.
Tirzepatide acts in much the same way as Ozempic (a weekly injection) and Rybelsus (a daily oral medication). Ozempic supplies a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which is also one of the main components of Mounjaro. Mounjaro also supplies glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) agonists. GLP-1 blocks the production of glucagon. These three drugs also produce substantial benefits in sustainable weight reduction.
Mounjaro is not for use in people with type 1 diabetes.
Note: Monjaro is not currently available from IsraelPharm. We can supply an alternative – Ozempic – with a healthcare provider’s prescription
Mounjaro should be injected subcutaneously once each week on the same weekday at any time of the day. Do not use the same site for each injection but administer in rotation in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
If taking insulin and Mounjaro simultaneously, do not mix them together in the same injection. One may administer injections of Mounjaro and insulin in the same body area, but not right next to each other.
Carefully read the information and follow instructions on the manufacturer’s Product Insert leaflet that comes with the medication to ensure safe usage. Failure to do so may result in serious health complications, and we will not be held liable for any harm caused by incorrect usage.
Some of the most common side effects of Mounjaro are nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. If these persist or get worse, you need to talk to your healthcare provider.
Please note that not all possible side effects can be listed. If any of these or other unexpected side effects are experienced, seek medical attention promptly.
In animal studies, it has been found that Mounjaro and similar drugs may cause thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. If there are any symptoms like a lump or swelling in the neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath, these may be symptoms of thyroid cancer.
People who have any personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), or who have the endocrine system condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should not be taking Mounjaro.
Less frequently, Mounjaro may cause serious side effects, including:
Mounjaro treats adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is not suitable for type 1 diabetes, and has not yet been approved for children under the age of 16.
The drug can lower blood sugar levels, but is not a cure for diabetes. Benefits may only begin to show after the first month. Do not stop taking Mounjaro without talking to a doctor.
Treatment with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists produces significant reductions in the key measurement of blood sugar, the hemoglobin HbA1c test. This test measures average blood sugar levels over a three-month period. In trials, patients receiving Mounjaro reached an HbA1c of less than 7 percent, when the average starting HbA1c was between 7.9% and 8.6%. An HbA1c in a normal reading is below 5.7 percent, and diabetes is diagnosed when HbA1c reaches 6.5 percent or above.
