Are Mounjaro and Wegovy the Same?

No, Mounjaro and Wegovy are separate medications produced by different manufacturers and contain different active ingredients. The Mounjaro tirzepatide injection is made by Eli Lilly and contains tirzepatide, while Wegovy is manufactured by Novo Nordisk and contains semaglutide.

Both treatments are approved for weight loss and help promote fullness, which can reduce calorie intake. They are both GLP-1 receptor agonists, but Mounjaro also acts on GIP receptors, providing a dual-hormone effect that supports weight loss and blood glucose control.
