Both Semaglutide and Tirzepatide work by simulating the hormone GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide one) to control the feeling of hunger and delaying digestion. However, Tirzepatide is a double-acting medicine and also mimics the hormone plaster, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide. This ensures that Mounjaro achieves even better results than Ozempic. In fact, it is so effective that it brings the blood sugar values of some diabetic patients within the normal limits. Participants of clinical tests lost 20 percent and 15 percent of their body weight respectively. During these tests, higher doses of Mounjaro were administered than those who are now on the market in Belgium.
The medicines work as long as you take them. As soon as you stop, it also stops. Anyone who takes Mounjaro with a view to weight loss, is therefore better to adjust their lifestyle, otherwise the lost weight will be added.

Mounjaro in Belgium: cost price
Mounjaro is now also available on prescription in Belgium. The price of an injection of four doses Mounjaro is 232.8 euros, which is sufficient for one month of treatment. Mounjaro is currently not being repaid in Belgium. However, a reimbursement procedure is running for patients with type 2 diabetes, the RIZIV reports. For people with obesity, there is no refund yet.
The higher doses are expected to be available on the Belgian market in 2025, but are probably also considerably more expensive.
