Mounjaro has been shown to be more effective for weight management than Wegovy. Over time, patients typically achieve greater weight loss at a lower cost with Mounjaro.
However, we recognise that each patient’s circumstances are unique. Some may need to consider factors such as price, side effect management, and the use of oral contraceptives when choosing the right medication.
Your prescriber will be able to help you with this decision. Please submit a request to get in touch with them.
