When it comes to medical weight loss, two names you’ll hear most often are Mounjaro and Wegovy. Both are highly effective treatments, but they work in slightly different ways and may suit different patients depending on their health goals and medical history. At Jood, we offer both options to make sure you can access the treatment that’s right for you.
How Mounjaro Works
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a newer treatment that acts on two key hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. By targeting both, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, reduce appetite, and support long-term weight loss. Many patients using Mounjaro report impressive results, especially when combined with lifestyle changes.
Key benefits of Mounjaro:
- Dual-action approach (GLP-1 and GIP)
- Helps control appetite and cravings
- May lead to greater weight loss compared to single-hormone treatments
How Wegovy Works
Wegovy (semaglutide) works by mimicking the GLP-1 hormone, which controls hunger and food intake. It slows digestion, increases feelings of fullness, and helps you eat less without feeling deprived. Wegovy has been available for longer and is widely trusted across the UK for safe and effective weight loss.
Key benefits of Wegovy:
- Well-established treatment with proven results
- Helps reduce portion sizes naturally
- Widely available and well tolerated by many patients
Mounjaro vs Wegovy: Which Should You Choose?
Both medications can be highly effective, but the best option depends on your personal health profile and goals:
- If you’re looking for a newer treatment with dual-action benefits, Mounjaro may be the right fit.
- If you prefer a proven option with a strong track record, Wegovy could be ideal.

Great comparison! I also found this article helpful: The Science Behind Mounjaro and Wegovy for Weight Loss
it explains the science behind how both treatments work in a simple way. Definitely worth checking out!
The price rise on Mounjaro will make many think twice, but for some the results may still justify the cost. It’s good to compare with Wegovy and other options before deciding.
