IS MOUNJARO® (TIRZEPATIDE) APPROVED FOR WEIGHT LOSS?
As of May 2022, Mounjaro® is FDA-approved for use in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus and not for weight loss alone. However, there is proof that its active ingredient is safe and effective in treating overweight or obesity. Just as it does in adults with type-2 diabetes, Mounjaro® can improve blood sugar levels in adults with insulin resistance or prediabetes—and is an effective tool for weight loss among both groups.
