Mounjaro or Wegovy: Which is right for you?

Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are highly effective tools for weight management when combined with a healthy lifestyle. They work by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite and blood sugar, helping you feel fuller and reduce cravings.

• Mounjaro (Tirzepatide): This is a dual-agonist medication, meaning it mimics two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP). Many people in the UK have seen significant weight loss results with Mounjaro.
• Wegovy (Semaglutide): This is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, mimicking one key hormone. It has also shown remarkable effectiveness in clinical trials, leading to substantial weight loss for many.

While some studies suggest Mounjaro might lead to a slightly greater average weight loss, both are powerful medications. The right choice often comes down to individual response, tolerability, and other practical factors.

When deciding whether to stay with Mounjaro or switch to Wegovy, our clinicians will consider several factors:

Current progress and tolerability on Mounjaro

• Are you seeing the results you want with Mounjaro?
• Are you experiencing any side effects, and are they manageable?
• If Mounjaro is working well and you're comfortable with it, continuing may be the best path for you, depending on availability and cost.

Cost and availability

• Recent price changes for Mounjaro have made cost a significant factor for many in the UK.
• Wegovy may offer a more affordable option, depending on market conditions. Our service aims to provide access to effective treatments at competitive prices for our patients.

Individual response to medication

• While Mounjaro has a dual action, some individuals may respond equally well, or even better, to Wegovy.
• Switching can sometimes lead to better tolerability of side effects for some patients.
