Mounjaro

Mounjaro is a new injectable medicine that can support you in losing weight.

It helps to reduce your appetite, make you feel fuller for longer, reducing the likelihood of you snacking, and helps to alter the foods you do crave. It reduces your craving for sugary and fatty foods, and leaves your desire for fruits and vegetables unaffected.

Orlistat

Orlistat helps you to lose weight by binding fat in your intestine before your body absorbs it.

This results in fatty, oily, unpleasant stools, which can leak, forcing you to change your diet.
