Mounjaro is generally considered for adults with a BMI of 30 or more, or 27 or more with a weight-related condition. Your practitioner reviews your health history and tells you plainly whether it fits.

Is Mounjaro funded in New Zealand?

No. Mounjaro is an unfunded prescription medicine in New Zealand, so the cost sits with you.

What does the price include?

Your consultations, genuine Mounjaro® dispensed via Chemist Warehouse, ongoing practitioner support, nutrition support, monthly check-ins and free, discreet delivery, in one monthly price.

What support do I get with CIRCL?

A monthly consultation with your practitioner, personalised nutrition support and a care team you can message whenever something changes, for as long as you’re with us.

Once a week, on the same day each week, using a pre-filled pen. It goes under the skin of your stomach, thigh or upper arm, at any time of day, with or without food.

What if I miss a dose?

Follow the instructions in the Consumer Medicine Information, or message your care team and they’ll tell you what to do.

Keep unused pens in the fridge between 2°C and 8°C, and never freeze them. If needed, a pen can be kept at room temperature below 30°C for up to 21 days. Keep it in its packaging to protect it from light.

What happens if I stop taking it?

Appetite signals tend to return to how they were, and weight can follow. That’s why the programme is built around habits, nutrition and ongoing support. If you want to stop or pause, plan it with your practitioner.

What are the side effects?

The most common are digestive, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, constipation and abdominal pain, usually in the first weeks. They often settle as your body adjusts. Tell your practitioner about anything severe or persistent.

Can I take Mounjaro with my other medications?

Often, yes, but it depends on what you take. Mounjaro® slows digestion, which can affect how some oral medicines are absorbed, including oral contraceptives, and it can interact with diabetes medicines. Your practitioner will review everything you take before prescribing.

Why it works

It was never about willpower.

Appetite is driven by hormones, not discipline. Mounjaro® works on two of them at once, so eating less stops being a daily fight.

One injection, once a week

Acts on two appetite hormones

Medsafe-approved

Feel full sooner.

Tirzepatide acts on GIP and GLP-1, the two hormones that tell your brain you’ve had enough. The signal arrives earlier, so you stop before you overeat.

Stay satisfied for longer.

It slows how quickly your stomach empties. A normal-sized meal keeps you going for hours, not minutes.

Quiet the food noise.

The constant pull toward snacking fades, for many people within the first few weeks. Smaller portions start to feel like enough.

Common questions

Mounjaro®, answered.

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a prescription medicine used for weight management alongside a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity, under the supervision of a registered practitioner. It comes as a once-weekly injection in a pre-filled pen.

How does it work?

Tirzepatide acts on two appetite hormones, GIP and GLP-1. Together they signal fullness and slow digestion, so hunger and cravings ease and smaller portions feel like enough.

How is Mounjaro different from Wegovy or Ozempic?

Wegovy and Ozempic contain semaglutide, which acts on one hormone pathway, GLP-1. Mounjaro acts on two, GIP and GLP-1. Your practitioner will tell you which suits your history.

Where can I find official information about Mounjaro?
