What is Mounjaro (Trizaptide)?

Mounjaro is an injectable prescription medication used to control blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. Although, it is still not proven that it can be used to treat patients with pancreas inflammation (Pancreatitis).

FDA (Food and Drug Administration) Approval

Recently, in late June or early May U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved Mounjaro medication for adults with type 2 diabetes.

It is said by Patrick Archdeacon, M.D. associate director of the Division of Diabetes, Lipid Disorders and Obesity in the FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research that in the given challenge many patients achieved their goal which is controlled blood sugar levels.

A1c is a type 1, type 2 diabetes diagnosis test.

Various experiments were performed to find out whether Mounjaro put the results or not and surprisingly Mounjaro did help in weight loss, with a minimum dose of 5mg it showed an 11.9% weight loss reduction from baseline.
