Mounjaro 10 mg — sweet-spot maintenance dose at our pharmacy in Urmston
£160 per month, supplied at our pharmacy in Urmston counter
Role of the 10 mg dose
Common long-term maintenance dose. In SURMOUNT-1 the 10 mg arm produced an average 21.4 percent body weight reduction over 72 weeks, only fractionally behind the 15 mg arm. For many patients in Urmston this is the strength they stay on for the bulk of their treatment.
How long you stay on 10 mg
Open-ended. Some patients stay on 10 mg for many months or years, with monthly review, before tapering down once goals are reached.
What to expect
- Strong appetite suppression — meals feel small and satisfying
- Steady weekly loss in the early months which gradually slows as you approach a healthy weight
- Less day-to-day food noise — patients often describe feeling free of constant thoughts about eating
- Side effects from earlier doses largely settled by now
Injection technique
Once a week, rotate sites between thigh, upper arm and abdomen. Store unused pens in the fridge between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius.
Pharmacist review
Monthly review at the pharmacy. We log weight, blood pressure, side effects and any other medicines you have started. This builds the long-term record we use to decide when to step up or step down.
When to seek urgent advice
Do not stop treatment suddenly without speaking to the pharmacist — appetite can rebound quickly and weight regain becomes more likely without a planned step-down.
