Mounjaro is a prescription-only medicine used to support weight management in adults. It contains tirzepatide, a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist that helps reduce appetite and regulate blood sugar. Patients in Fulham and across West London can access Mounjaro through Fulham Palace Pharmacy’s private weight loss service.

Starting Mounjaro Safely

Treatment begins with a starting dose of 2.5mg once weekly. This initial step allows the body to adjust to the medicine and helps reduce early side effects such as nausea, diarrhoea, or loss of appetite.

Most patients remain on the 2.5mg dose for at least four weeks before any increase is considered.

When to Increase the Dose

After the first month, the prescribing clinician may recommend moving up to the next available dose. This is usually 5mg once weekly.

Each further increase follows a similar pattern. If tolerated well, the dose can be stepped up in four-week intervals until the patient reaches a suitable level.

Available doses include 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5mg, 10mg, 12.5mg, and 15mg.

Factors Considered Before Increasing

Not all patients will increase at the same speed. A healthcare professional considers:

• How well the patient has tolerated the current dose
• Presence of side effects such as nausea, constipation, or fatigue
• Weight loss progress and overall response to treatment
• Other medical conditions or medicines being taken

If side effects are bothersome, the clinician may delay an increase. Safety always comes before speed.

Typical Mounjaro Dose Progression

• 2.5mg for the first 4 weeks
• 5mg for at least 4 weeks
• 7.5mg for at least 4 weeks
• 10mg for at least 4 weeks
• 12.5mg for at least 4 weeks
• 15mg may be prescribed if suitable and tolerated

Not every patient will need the highest dose. Some achieve effective weight loss at a mid-range level.

Why Medical Supervision is Essential

Mounjaro is a powerful medicine that must be used with professional guidance. Increasing the dose too quickly can cause significant side effects. Taking more than prescribed does not speed up results and may be unsafe.

At Fulham Palace Pharmacy, every increase is reviewed by a clinician. Patients are monitored throughout their weight loss journey to ensure safety and effectiveness.
