Tirzepatide (Mounjaro)
Private Prescription Ireland

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is the most effective anti-obesity medication currently available, with average weight loss of 20%+ in clinical trials. Available on private prescription from our consultant specialist in Naas, Co. Kildare.

A Dual-Action Weight-Loss Injection

Tirzepatide (brand name Mounjaro) is a once-weekly injectable medication that activates two hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). This dual action makes it the most effective injectable weight-loss treatment currently available.

In the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial (NEJM, 2022), patients taking 15mg weekly achieved average weight loss of 20.9% over 72 weeks. Some participants lost more than 25%. It also significantly improves blood glucose, making it particularly effective in type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.

  • BMI ≥27 with weight-related comorbidity (hypertension, T2DM, sleep apnoea, PCOS)
  • Type 2 diabetes - blood glucose management
