Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What makes Mounjaro different from Ozempic or Wegovy?

Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) is the first medication in its class to target two different hunger-regulating hormone receptors: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). While older medications like Ozempic only target GLP-1, Mounjaro’s dual-action approach is clinically proven to be more potent, often resulting in significantly greater weight loss.

2. How much weight can I realistically lose on Mounjaro?

Clinical studies show that Mounjaro users often achieve weight loss of 15% to 22% of their starting body weight over a year. Head-to-head trials in 2025/2026 have confirmed that Mounjaro leads to a higher percentage of weight loss than semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) at 3, 6, and 12 months.

3. Do I need to visit the Brooklyn clinic to get a prescription?

No. While we love seeing patients at our Court Street office, we offer Telehealth services throughout New York City, including Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. You can complete your medical evaluation, discuss your health history, and receive your prescription via a secure virtual consultation.

4. How is Mounjaro administered?

Mounjaro is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. It comes in a pre-filled, single-dose pen with a hidden needle, making it very easy to use at home. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thigh, or the back of the upper arm.

5. What is the “titration” schedule for Mounjaro?

To minimize gastrointestinal side effects like nausea or diarrhea, we start you on a low dose of 2.5 mg once weekly for the first month. We then gradually increase the dose every four weeks (5 mg, 7.5 mg, up to 15 mg) based on your progress and how well your body tolerates the medication.

6. Does insurance cover Mounjaro for weight loss in New York?

Insurance coverage varies significantly. While most plans cover Mounjaro for Type 2 Diabetes, coverage for weight loss alone often requires a specific prior authorization. Our team at Skin Glow Dermatology is experienced in assisting patients with these insurance hurdles and exploring self-pay options.

7. Who is a good candidate for Tirzepatide injections?

Typically, Mounjaro is prescribed for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or greater, or a BMI of 27 or greater with at least one weight-related condition (such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol). Yelena Terushkin, PA-C will perform a full medical review to ensure the treatment is safe for you.
