Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is an injectable medication used at Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab to support effective weight loss. It works by targeting hormones that regulate appetite and digestion, helping to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness. This leads to a natural decrease in calorie intake, making it easier for patients to follow a healthy eating plan and achieve weight loss goals.

We incorporate Mounjaro as part of a comprehensive weight management program tailored to each patient’s needs. Along with medication, our specialists provide personalized nutritional counseling, customized exercise routines, and behavioral support to encourage lasting lifestyle changes. This integrated approach helps maximize the benefits of Mounjaro while promoting overall health and wellness.

Losing excess weight with the help of Mounjaro can reduce physical strain on joints, improve mobility, and lower the risk of chronic conditions related to obesity. Our team closely monitors your progress, adjusting treatment as needed to ensure safety and effectiveness. By combining advanced medical therapies like Mounjaro with supportive care, Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab empowers patients to achieve sustainable weight loss and enjoy improved quality of life through healthier habits and long-term wellness.

At Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to support our patients’ overall health, wellness, and quality of life. One promising therapy gaining increased attention in recent medical literature is Mounjaro (tirzepatide), an injectable medication initially approved for managing type 2 diabetes but now increasingly recognized for its significant benefits in long-term weight management.

Mounjaro works by simultaneously activating two important metabolic pathways, the GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) receptors. This dual mechanism helps regulate appetite, enhance feelings of fullness, reduce caloric intake, and support sustained weight reduction. Clinical studies have shown that patients treated with Mounjaro often experience substantial and lasting weight loss, even those without diabetes.

Our multidisciplinary approach integrates advanced medical therapies such as Mounjaro with tailored lifestyle counseling, nutritional guidance, and individualized exercise programs. Our team carefully evaluates each patient’s health status, metabolic profile, and weight-loss goals to determine the most appropriate and safe treatment options. We emphasize regular follow-up appointments and routine monitoring of metabolic markers to ensure ongoing safety, effectiveness, and optimal health outcomes.

While initial evidence supporting Mounjaro is encouraging, ongoing clinical research continues to provide valuable insights into its long-term safety, cardiovascular impacts, metabolic effects, and overall efficacy. Our medical team remains up-to-date on the latest research and clinical guidelines, allowing us to confidently and safely incorporate innovative treatments like Mounjaro into our comprehensive patient-care plans.

If you are exploring options for long-term weight loss management and improved metabolic health, we invite you to schedule a consultation with our specialists at Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab. Together, we can discuss whether Mounjaro therapy or other advanced treatments could be a suitable component of your personalized wellness journey.

Our healthcare team is dedicated to offering comprehensive, personalized treatments to support your health goals. One medication option that has generated significant interest among our patients is Mounjaro, known generically as tirzepatide.

Originally approved for the management of type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide has also shown promise as an effective tool for weight management. Although Mounjaro is not currently FDA-approved exclusively for weight loss, our providers carefully evaluate each patient’s individual health profile and may prescribe this medication off-label when appropriate to support weight-loss goals and improve overall health.

When incorporating Mounjaro into your treatment plan, our medical team typically recommends beginning at a lower dose to minimize potential side effects and gradually increasing the dosage over several weeks based on your individual response and tolerance. Initially, we generally start with a dosage of 2.5 mg administered subcutaneously once weekly for four weeks. After careful monitoring and assessment, your provider may incrementally increase the dose, commonly progressing to 5 mg per week. Depending on your specific weight-loss progress, tolerability, and clinical response, your healthcare provider might further adjust your dosage to 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or even up to a maximum recommended weekly dose of 15 mg.

Throughout your treatment, regular follow-up appointments at Cape Fear Physical Medicine and Rehab allow our team to closely monitor your progress, evaluate potential side effects, and customize your therapeutic plan for optimal results. Common side effects of Mounjaro may include gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and reduced appetite. Our providers are committed to carefully managing your medication dosage and treatment approach to enhance tolerability and help you achieve the best possible outcomes tailored specifically to your needs.
