Description

Mounjaro 15 mg (tirzepatide)

Mounjaro 15 mg (tirzepatide) is an injectable prescription medicine for adults with type 2 diabetes used along with diet and exercise to improve blood sugar (glucose). It is not known if Mounjaro can be used in people who have had inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Mounjaro is not for use in people with type 1 diabetes.

Is tirzepatide the same as Ozempic?

The most significant differences between Ozempic (semaglutide) and Mounjaro (tirzepatide) are their active ingredients and FDA indications. Both are FDA-approved medications for Type 2 diabetes, but Ozempic is also approved to reduce cardiovascular risks and cater to diverse metabolic health needs.

How much does tirzepatide cost?

The retail price of $1283 is the lowest available at Kroger Pharmacy. No need for a GoodRx discount.

How Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. It works by acting like GLP-1 and GIP, two hormones released by your gut after you eat to help you control blood sugar. These hormones tell your body to release more insulin, release less sugar, and slow down digestion. All of these actions help lower blood sugar levels.

In people who have Type 2 diabetes, GLP-1 and GIP don’t work as well they should. So Mounjaro (tirzepatide) helps by acting just like GLP-1 and GIP to help control blood sugar.

What are the side effects of Mounjaro (tirzepatide)?

The following side effects may get better over time as your body gets used to the medication. Let your healthcare provider know immediately if you continue to experience these symptoms or if they worsen over time.
