Quick summary

If you're established on Mounjaro treatment and making your way up in dosage, you may be wondering whether Mounjaro 7.5mg weight loss pens will be available soon in the UK.

Who can purchase 7.5mg Mounjaro?

Manufacturer guidance advises that Mounjaro should be titrated up in dosage monthly, and all patients initiating treatment on Mounjaro must start on 2.5mg.

As 5mg Mounjaro has been available for some time now, however, many patients who have titrated up through 2.5mg and 5mg are now looking to increase to 7.5mg.  As 7.5mg Mounjaro is new to the market and stock is not widely available, we’ve made it easy to switch providers to Habitual, as we have stock available starting w/c 22ndApril 2024.

How effective is 7.5mg Mounjaro?

In a large randomised control trial on tirzepatide[1], the active ingredient in Mounjaro, weight loss results were seen to increase with increasing doses. While treatment with 7.5mg was not specifically reported on, we can look at outcomes for 5mg, 10mg, and 15mg. The overall change in bodyweight from baseline was 15% for those being treated with 5mg tirzepatide,19.5% for 10mg, and 20.9% for 15mg. It it likely that outcomes on 7.5mg would be somewhere in between the 5mg and 10mg outcomes, so between 15 and 20% bodyweight loss.

How do I know whether to increase dosage from 5mg Mounjaro?

This decision will depend on a number of factors, including cost, weight loss goals, and how you’re finding the experience on 5mg Mounjaro.

Mounjaro pricing increases every two doses, so some people seeing great results on 5mg may choose to stay on that strength for longer in order to save a bit on their medication.

Others may already be seeing good results on 5mg, and wish to continue on that dosage without risking increased side effects on a higher dose.

With Habitual, we give you the option to choose each month whether you’d like to increase your dose each month, so you can always stay on one dose for a couple months and see how you get on.

When will 10mg Mounjaro be available?

We won’t have an exact date confirmed, but so far the manufacturer has released one higher strength per month, as they want to ensure patients are able to titrate up in dosage safely.

Given this, we expect 10mg Mounjaro to be available in around 4 weeks from when 7.5mg launched, so w/c 20h May. Following this logic, subsequent doses would be available w/c 17th June (for12.5mg) and w/c 15th July (for 15mg), however there are no guarantees of this as it wholly depends on availability from the manufacturer.
