Get a Mounjaro (tirzepatide) prescription online for type 2 diabetes

While Mounjaro is not FDA-approved specifically for weight loss, clinical studies have found that patients taking the maximum weekly dose of Mounjaro (15mg) lost an average of 21% of their body weight after 72 weeks.

Mounjaro also contains the same exact formulation and active ingredient (tirzepatide) as Zepbound, which is approved specifically for weight loss.

Because of these similarities, a healthcare provider may prescribe Mounjaro off-label for weight loss if it’s appropriate for your individual needs.

Mounjaro helps with diabetes by mimicking two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, which help to control glucose levels in the body. This helps regulate blood sugar levels and reduce body weight in patients with type 2 diabetes.

It’s important to note that Mounjaro is not a cure for type 2 diabetes. It helps patients manage their blood sugar levels by reducing glucose in the blood, but it will not reverse the condition.

Yes, you can get a prescription for Mounjaro online through reputable telehealth platforms like Sesame. During a video consultation, your Sesame provider can prescribe Mounjaro if it’s right for you and send it to an online pharmacy, where it can be purchased and sent to your doorstep.

If you prefer, your provider can also send your Mounjaro Rx to your local pharmacy for pickup.

The typical starting dose of Mounjaro is 2.5 mg injected just below the skin once a week for 4 weeks. During that time, your provider will monitor you to see how your body is reacting to the medication and ensure that you’re not experiencing any disruptive side effects.

After a month or so, your provider may increase your Mounjaro dosage to 5 mg or 7.5 mg per week.

Your healthcare provider will teach you how to use the medicine at home. Injection sites should be rotated with each weekly injection. Do not use the same site each time. The specific Mounjaro dosage prescribed depends on the patient’s blood sugar levels, age, and body weight. Take this medication exactly as ordered. Do not increase or discontinue the dosage without consulting with your healthcare provider first.

Mounjaro pens should be stored in refrigerated conditions between 36 and 46 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not freeze Mounjaro, and do not use it if it’s frozen.

If needed, the single-dose pen can be stored unrefrigerated at temperatures below 86 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 21 days. Avoid exposing the medication to excess heat or moisture.

No, Mounjaro is currently only available via prescription. This means that a licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.

If you are looking for a prescription, doctors on Sesame can write a prescription–or refill an existing one–during a virtual or in-person visit. Book an appointment with a provider on Sesame today to discuss whether or not Mounjaro is right for you.

Certain GLP-1 therapies such as semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy), liraglutide (the active ingredient in Saxenda and Victoza), and tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) may increase the likelihood of developing thyroid gland tumors, including MTC, a type of thyroid cancer. This conclusion is based on studies where laboratory animals given semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide and other GLP-1 medications developed tumors. However, it is not yet confirmed if these medications pose the same risk to humans. You can find additional information about the risks of FDA-approved medications that contain semaglutide here.

It’s important to inform your doctor if you or any family member has ever had MTC or MEN. If this is the case, your doctor will likely advise against taking GLP-1 medications.

If you are prescribed a GLP-1 medication and exhibit any of the following symptoms, you should contact your provider immediately:

• A lump or swelling in the neck
  
• Hoarseness
  
• Difficulty swallowing
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Severe abdominal pain

Before taking GLP-1 medications, you should also discuss the following with your provider:

Allergies: Inform your doctor and pharmacist of any allergies you have to semaglutide (including under brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) or similar medications such as tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), dulaglutide (Trulicity), exenatide (Bydureon BCise, Byetta), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza, or in Xultophy) and lixisenatide (Adlyxin, or in Soliqua).

Personal and family medical history: Be sure to disclose if you have a history of medical conditions like pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, or thyroid cancer. Inform your doctor about recent episodes of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or any inability to consume liquids, which could lead to dehydration.

Current medications and supplements: Provide a comprehensive list of all medicines and supplements you are currently taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products. This is crucial as GLP-1 medications can alter how your body absorbs oral medications.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant soon.

Surgical procedures: In the event of surgery, including dental procedures, inform the medical or dental professional that you are on GLP-1 medication.

It's essential to thoroughly discuss these risks with your healthcare provider and consider your personal and family medical history when deciding whether to use these medications. Your doctor can provide guidance on the best course of action based on your specific health situation.
