How Does the Weight Loss Medication Work?

If you’re considering starting a medical weight loss program with Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) or Wegovy (Semaglutide), understanding how these treatments work can help you feel confident in your decision and more in control of your journey.

1. Mimicking Natural Hormones to Control Appetite

 

Both Mounjaro and Wegovy are injectable medications that work by mimicking hormones that are naturally produced in your gut:

  • Wegovy contains semaglutide, which mimics a hormone called GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1).
  • Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, which mimics both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), offering a dual-action approach.

These hormones are responsible for helping you feel full after eating, slowing down digestion, and regulating blood sugar levels. By mimicking them, the medications help:

Reduces appetite
Increases feelings of fullness
Slow gastric emptying
Control blood sugar spikes

The result? You naturally eat less without feeling constantly hungry.


 

2. Supporting Sustainable Weight Loss

 

Clinical trials have shown impressive results:

  • Patients using Wegovy lost an average of 15% of their body weight.
  • Patients using Mounjaro lost up to 20% or more, making it one of the most effective medical weight loss options available today.

These results are achieved over time with consistent use and alongside healthy lifestyle choices, including improved eating habits and increased activity levels.


 

3. Dose Titration: Gradual Increase for Best Results

 

To ensure your body adjusts comfortably and to minimise side effects like nausea, both medications start at a lower dose and gradually increase over time:

  • Wegovy typically starts at 0.25mg and increases monthly to 2.4mg.
  • Mounjaro starts at 2.5mg and may increase monthly up to 15mg, depending on your plan.

At Rightangled, we offer auto-titration subscriptions, so your dosage increases automatically each month based on clinical guidance—no guesswork involved.


 

4. Long-Term Health Benefits

 

In addition to weight loss, these medications may provide several long-term health benefits, particularly for individuals at risk of:

  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Cardiovascular disease
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol

By improving blood sugar control and reducing inflammation associated with excess weight, these medications support overall metabolic health.
