Mounjaro / tirzepatide

Many Americans buy Mounjaro from Canada to save on tirzepatide, the once-weekly type 2 diabetes medicine from Eli Lilly. Northside Meds dispenses brand-name Mounjaro in every strength from 2.5 mg to 15 mg and ships to all 50 US states with a valid prescription, starting at $499.99.

What is Mounjaro?

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is the first once-weekly dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Together with diet and exercise, it is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. In clinical trials it lowered A1C and body weight more than several other diabetes medicines. Tirzepatide for chronic weight management in the US is sold as Zepbound.
