Mounjaro
With medical weight-management now mainstream in the UK, two names dominate: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and Wegovy (semaglutide). Both are weekly injections that help adults lose weight under clinical supervision — but their ingredients, effectiveness, and pricing differ.
How They Work
Wegovy activates one hormone, GLP-1, which slows digestion and reduces appetite.
Mounjaro, on the other hand, acts on two receptors — GLP-1 and GIP. This dual-action design helps the body regulate both appetite and blood-sugar levels more efficiently, often resulting in greater total weight loss.
| Feature | Wegovy (semaglutide) | Mounjaro (tirzepatide) |
|---|---|---|
| Hormone Targets | GLP-1 only | GLP-1 + GIP |
| Dose Frequency | Weekly | Weekly |
| Avg Weight Loss | ≈ 15% body weight | ≈ 20–22% body weight |
| Starting Dose | 0.25 mg | 2.5 mg |
| Maintenance Dose | 2.4 mg | 15 mg (max) |
Effectiveness of Mounjaro
Clinical trials suggest that Mounjaro users may achieve up to 25 % greater average weight loss than those using Wegovy, thanks to its dual-receptor mechanism. Both medicines work best alongside a calorie-controlled diet and regular physical activity.
Mounjaro Side Effects & Tolerance
Both injections can cause temporary nausea, bloating, or fatigue, particularly during the first few weeks.
However, many patients find Mounjaro causes fewer appetite rebounds and milder long-term stomach discomfort once the correct dose is reached.

Which One Should I Choose?
- Choose Mounjaro if you’ve used a GLP-1 medicine before but need stronger appetite control or improved blood-sugar stability.
- Choose Wegovy if you’re new to GLP-1 treatments and prefer single-receptor therapy or are sensitive to dual-action drugs.
Always consult a qualified prescriber before switching or starting treatment.
