As with any prescription medication, it's important to be aware of the impact it can have on other medical conditions you may be experiencing.

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood, originating from the food we eat. Foods high in carbohydrates and fats are major contributors to elevated triglyceride levels. When you consume more calories than your body needs immediately, it converts these excess calories into triglycerides, stored in fat cells. Over time, high triglyceride levels can lead to serious health risks, including heart disease, pancreatitis, and increased likelihood of stroke because they contribute to the hardening of arterial walls.

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works by enhancing the body's natural hormone responses that control glucose and fat metabolism, leading to improved insulin sensitivity and better lipid utilization. Consequently, Mounjaro not only helps lower blood sugar levels but also reduces triglycerides in the bloodstream. This dual action can significantly lower the risk of cardiovascular diseases associated with high triglyceride levels.

It's always worth discussing your existing medical conditions with your regular GP before starting any new treatments, and our clinical team will assess your medical questionnaire and history to make sure you are suitable for the medication.
