Who is Suitable for Mounjaro?
In December 2024, the NHS announced it would begin offering Mounjaro weight loss injections, however, only to those with the highest clinical need. It’s estimated that around 220,000 people will have access to the injection over the next three years. Mounjaro is however, available privately for those who wish to purchase the weight loss injection.
Mounjaro is approved for a select group of patients with severe obesity:
BMI of over 30 (obese)
Anyone with a BMI of over 27 who has at least one weight-related health problem, including diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
Anyone with a BMI below this should consider alternative methods of weight loss. Injecting Mounjaro or any weight loss drug when your BMI is below the approved threshold could be dangerous, and you are likely to experience unnecessary side effects.
Can you lose weight just from using Mounjaro?
Most people who begin using Mounjaro will notice weight loss within the first few weeks. Due to the dramatic reduction in calories consumed, it’s common to experience weight loss without the need for exercise or dieting. This is not the recommended way to lose weight and sustain weight loss in the long term.
It’s important to understand the psychology behind why people become overweight or obese. For many, it’s unhealthy eating habits and little to no exercise over a long period of time which causes them to gain weight. When taking Mounjaro, your ability to eat reduces dramatically because you don’t have the appetite to eat, or you will feel fuller much quicker and for longer. However, when you come off the injection, your appetite will return to normal. So if you haven’t made lifestyle changes throughout the process, the chances of regaining the weight you’ve lost are extremely high.
Can you purchase Mounjaro Online?
There are lots of online pharmacies selling Mounjaro, but we would urge you to be extremely cautious when purchasing weight loss injections in this manner. Firstly, there are lots of counterfeit products being sold online which contain harmful ingredients or do not contain the active ingredient required for weight loss. Just because a product claims it is Mounjaro, doesn’t mean it is. Always purchase from reputable clinics or pharmacies so you can ensure legitimacy and safety.
Mounjaro weight loss injections should be prescribed by a doctor or nurse prescriber who has seen you in person and has experience in managing weight loss patients. They should be given to patients with a BMI which falls within the approved range, and support should be offered throughout the process. Any reputable clinic will ensure you have regular follow-ups and support, encouraging you to make changes to your lifestyle and habits to ensure you sustain your weight loss long after Mounjaro.
There are many cases where online pharmacies only request your height, weight and a picture of you. This is enabling thousands of weight loss injections to be prescribed to people whose BMI falls way below the approved and recommended range. This is extremely dangerous and not worth putting your health at risk.
Will I put the Weight I Lose Back on when you come off Mounjaro?
Mounjaro helps to suppress your appetite and keep you feeling fuller for longer, helping you to reduce your calorie intake and in turn lose weight. When you stop taking Mounjaro, your normal appetite will return. This is where it’s important to address and change your eating and exercise habits to ensure sustained, long-term weight loss. If these habits are not altered, it is likely you will slowly gain the weight lost when you stop the injections.
