Mounjaro vs. Wegovy: What’s the Difference?

Weight loss injections have become a major topic in recent years, and two of the names people hear most often are Mounjaro and Wegovy. Both are prescription-only medicines used for weight management, and both work by affecting appetite, fullness and food intake. However, they are not the same medicine, and the right option depends on the individual patient, their medical history, their goals, their risk factors and how they tolerate treatment.

At Aster, we believe patients should understand the difference between treatments before starting a programme. Weight loss medication can be very helpful for some people, but it should always be used with proper clinical assessment, ongoing monitoring and lifestyle support.
