Mounjaro patients lost an impressive 16 percent of their body weight in just 12 to 18 months on the drugs, according to the review, and were able to maintain their new physique the longest by up to 3.5 years.
Doctor Crystal Wyllie at ZAVA also says Mounjaro effects are likely to kick in as early as week two.

According to ZAVA, patients lose an average of four per cent of their starting body weight on Mounjaro within the first month.
