Mounjaro: A Competitor to Wegovy
The landscape of weight-loss injections has a new participant: Mounjaro, a contender against Wegovy. This emerging pharmaceutical solution offers notable results but also presents certain apprehensions and potential hazards. At ProLongevity, we prioritise natural and enduring health solutions and therefore aim to deliver a balanced view on Mounjaro, its advantages, and possible drawbacks.
What Is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro distinguishes itself with the addition of a second active substance, tirzepatide, alongside semaglutide, which is found in both Wegovy and Ozempic. The combination aims to replicate the actions of two intestinal hormones: GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).
These hormones are integral to controlling hunger and satiety. By imitating GIP and GLP-1, Mounjaro helps users experience fullness faster and for longer periods after meals, while also decelerating digestion to aid portion control and reduce hunger frequency.
Comparing Mounjaro to Wegovy
Both Mounjaro and Wegovy aid weight loss by impacting appetite and digestion, yet utilise different active ingredients. While Wegovy relies solely on semaglutide, Mounjaro incorporates tirzepatide, targeting two hormones. According to the SURPASS-2 clinical trial, Mounjaro proves effective in weight loss but might pose slightly higher risks of severe side effects compared to Wegovy.
The Side Effects of Mounjaro
Like any medication altering the body’s processes, Mounjaro carries risks. Commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and constipation, ranging from mild to severe symptoms requiring medical intervention.
More alarming are the serious risks, including acute organ failure, pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, and gastroparesis. Additionally, reports have linked Mounjaro to several fatalities, although not definitively. Animal studies also suggest increased thyroid cancer risks with tirzepatide use.
Celebrity Influence
Despite the risks, celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Elon Musk reportedly utilise Mounjaro, contributing to its rise in popularity. However, their access to medical supervision contrasts with the average user’s experience, heightening risks for those without professional guidance.
