What is Mounjaro®? +
Mounjaro® is the brand-name of the generic medication Tirzepatide. Mounjaro® is Health Canada-approved for managing specific symptoms and risks associated with Type 2 Diabetes. Administered through a pre-filled single-dose pen, Mounjaro® functions similarly to a naturally occurring hormone in the body that regulates blood sugar.
How does Mounjaro® work? +
Mounjaro®, akin to other GLP-1 medications like Ozempic, operates as a glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonist. However, it stands out as a dual-action GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) medication. By mimicking the actions of both hormones, Mounjaro® regulates metabolism, inducing a sense of fullness and controlling hunger. Alongside a proper diet and exercise regimen, Mounjaro® proves very effective in supporting weight loss.
Do you prescribe Mounjaro® for weight loss? +
While Mounjaro® is not Health Canada-approved for weight loss, licensed Canadian Rocky-affiliated healthcare professionals have the discretion to prescribe it off-label if they believe it is a suitable treatment for a specific patient.

Is weight loss about willpower, or is diet and exercise enough?
+Contrary to the belief that weight loss depends on willpower, obesity is considered a disease, not a decision. At Rocky, we recognize that being overweight involves the biology of the body, hence why we offer science-backed steps to support weight loss.
What are some common mistakes people make when they try to lose weight?
+Common mistakes include attempting too many significant changes simultaneously, adopting unsustainable extreme diets, and following generic plans that do not consider individual your specific biology.
