MOUNJARO Injection
MOUNJARO (tirzepatide) is an advanced, once-weekly injectable therapy that promotes effective weight management and supports glycemic control. At Beauté Concept in Dubai, we offer a personalised approach to help you understand if MOUNJARO is suited to your health and wellness journey.
What is MOUNJARO?
MOUNJARO is a prescription medication that combines GIP and GLP‑1 receptor agonist action to help regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. It is used to support weight loss and manage type 2 diabetes, always alongside diet and exercise.
How is MOUNJARO administered?
The medication is provided as a pre-filled pen or vial for subcutaneous injection, meaning it’s injected just under the skin, typically in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Injections are done once weekly.

MOUNJARO may be suitable if you:
Are managing type 2 diabetes and need help achieving better glycemic control
Are experiencing obesity (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m²) or overweight with comorbid conditions (BMI ≥ 27 kg/m²) and are looking for a medically-supported weight loss tool
Are committed to combining the treatment with diet and exercise

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I prepare and store my MOUNJARO dose?
Check your pen label, keep it refrigerated, and ensure the solution is clear and slightly yellow, not cloudy.
Can I inject myself?
Yes, after training, self-injection is possible. Injection sites should be rotated weekly to reduce skin irritation.
How long before I see results?
Weight and blood sugar improvements typically become noticeable within a few weeks, but individual timelines vary.
Can MOUNJARO replace insulin?
Not necessarily. In some cases, it reduces the need for insulin, but must not be mixed in the same syringe. Always follow your doctor’s instructions.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
You can change your injection day, as long as you keep at least 3 days between doses. Refer to your healthcare provider for personalized guidance.
