What Is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injection that activates GIP + GLP-1 receptors to improve blood sugar and curb appetite. At VEI Clinic, use is doctor-supervised and follows local regulations and your medical history.

Who May Be Eligible

• Adults with type 2 diabetes needing better glucose control
• Adults with excess weight where a clinician judges tirzepatide appropriate under local rules
• Able to attend check-ups and follow diet/activity guidance

Final eligibility, dosing, and alternatives (e.g., semaglutide, liraglutide) are determined after a medical evaluation.

How It Works (In Plain English)

• Slows gastric emptying → earlier fullness
• Reduces appetite → smaller portions feel satisfying
• Improves insulin response → helps lower A1c in T2D

Visit Flow at VEI Clinic (What to Expect)

1. Doctor consult: medical history, meds, weight & BP, goals
2. Baseline tests (as needed): A1c/fasting glucose, CMP, lipids ± pregnancy test if applicable
3. Plan + dosing: weekly start with stepwise titration (e.g., 2.5 mg → 5 → 7.5 → 10 mg, etc., as tolerated)
4. Injection training: self-inject at home; rotate sites
5. Follow-ups: side-effect check, vitals, labs, refills, and lifestyle support

FAQs

Can I switch from another GLP-1?
Often yes, with a tailored transition to minimize side effects.

How fast will I see changes?
Appetite changes can appear within 1–2 weeks; body composition and A1c shifts are tracked over 8–12+ weeks.

Can I drink alcohol?
Moderation is advised; alcohol can worsen GI effects and affect glucose.

Do I need to bring prior labs?
If you have recent labs or medication lists, bring them—this can speed up eligibility checks.
