Am I Eligible for Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is authorised for patients with a BMI (body mass index) higher than 30 or a BMI over 27 if you have a condition related to your weight. The BMI criteria may be lower depending on your ethnicity. So, you may be eligible for Mounjaro if:
- Tried diet and exercise without success
- Your BMI is higher than 25
In short, Mounjaro is considered very effective. Mounjaro works by affecting your appetite, making you feel fuller for longer. Ultimately, this will help you lose weight over some time.
- In the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial patients lost up to 22.5% of their body weight
- In the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial patients lost 15.7% of their body weight (on 15mg)
- In another study, patients on a higher dose (15mg) lost 21lbs; patients on a lower dose (5mg) lost 11.6lbs
Researchers estimate that people can lose up to 26.6% of their body weight when taking Mounjaro, which is an average weight loss of 60 pounds in under two years. The results appear to be more impressive than other weight loss medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy.
It can take anything from 8 to 12 weeks to start seeing results, but most patients will start to feel benefits even within the first couple of weeks. At Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic, our patients tend to lose up to 20% of their body weight in the first year.
