Is Mounjaro still considered the wonder weight-loss drug? – The National

The drug Mounjaro sparked a frenzy of interest in the US among Type 2 diabetes and obesity patients after it was launched last year.

Many users reported losing significant amounts of weight and achieving better control of their blood-glucose level after taking the injectable drug, which contains the active ingredient tirzepatide.

With the drug’s significant benefits widely recognised, there were forecasts that sales next year could approach $5 billion and that it could ultimately become one of the best-selling drugs of all time.
