Mechanism of action: Mounjaro works by activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, enhancing insulin secretion, decreasing glucose production by the liver, reducing hunger and cravings, and promoting satiety leading to reduced food intake and weight loss
The American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society recommend that the dose of semaglutide should be increased slowly and individually, aiming for the highest dose that is both effective and well-tolerated (up to 2.4 mg weekly for obesity)
