Many adults with insulin resistance struggle with appetite control and gradual weight gain despite lifestyle efforts.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is not specifically licensed as an “insulin resistance treatment,” but it may be prescribed for weight management and glycaemic support when clinically appropriate.
