Mounjaro is now available in Sandakan as part of UniKlinik’s medical weight loss program, offering a clinically backed solution for individuals struggling with obesity or weight-related health conditions. This once-weekly injectable has gained attention worldwide for its dual-action mechanism and significant weight loss results.
At UniKlinik Sandakan, we provide safe access to Mounjaro (tirzepatide) under medical supervision, combined with holistic care to maximize your results — including dietary guidance, lifestyle coaching, and regular health monitoring.
What Is Mounjaro and How Does It Work?
Mounjaro (active ingredient: tirzepatide) is a next-generation, prescription-only weight loss medication originally approved for type 2 diabetes. What makes Mounjaro different is its dual action on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors—two key hormones involved in insulin regulation and appetite control.
Compared to traditional weight loss supplements or over-the-counter weight loss pills, Mounjaro is clinically proven to deliver sustained, medically supervised weight loss, especially for patients with obesity or metabolic syndromes.
Here’s how it works:
Suppresses Appetite
Mounjaro signals your brain to feel full faster and stay full longer, helping you reduce calorie intake naturally.
Improves Blood Sugar Control
It boosts insulin secretion and reduces glucagon levels, which not only helps with weight but also stabilizes blood glucose levels.
Slows Gastric Emptying
By delaying how fast food leaves your stomach, it further reduces hunger and food cravings.
Who Is Mounjaro For?
Mounjaro is not a typical weight loss pill—it’s a prescription-only treatment designed for individuals who meet specific health and weight criteria. At UniKlinik Sandakan, we assess each patient’s suitability before prescribing Mounjaro.
However, it’s not recommended for type 1 diabetes, or as a first-line option for people who are underweight or have a history of certain endocrine cancers.
You may be a candidate if:
Your BMI is ≥27 with at least one weight-related condition (like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol)
Or your BMI is ≥30 with no additional conditions
You’ve struggled to lose weight despite diet and exercise
You are looking for a clinically proven medical alternative to over-the-counter weight loss supplements
Benefits of Mounjaro for Weight Loss and Health
Dual Action Mechanism
Unlike traditional weight loss medications, Mounjaro activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. This unique mechanism not only suppresses appetite but also enhances insulin sensitivity, helping manage both weight and blood sugar more effectively than single-pathway drugs like Ozempic
Significant Weight Loss Potential
In a clinical trial (SURMOUNT-1), patients lost up to 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks. That’s almost double what most common weight loss pills achieve, and the results were maintained with ongoing use.
Blood Sugar and Heart Health Benefits
Mounjaro isn’t just about appearance it supports metabolic health:
- Reduces HbA1c levels in type 2 diabetics
- Supports cardiovascular function
- Lowers risk factors like blood pressure and cholesterol
Proven Option When Other Methods Fail
Patients who previously failed on traditional diet pills or supplements have seen success with Mounjaro. It’s a clinically proven alternative to fad diets or unregulated treatments.
Reduce triglycerides
Mounjaro assists in breaking down and reducing triglycerides, helping the body maintain healthier fat levels.
Reduce Visceral Fat
Mounjaro helps target and reduce visceral fat, not only improving body composition but also decreasing hidden health risks that often go unnoticed.
Reduce Blood pressure
Mounjaro contributes to healthier blood pressure regulation. This helps reduce the risk of hypertension-related conditions such as stroke, kidney disease, and cardiovascular events, giving your circulatory system the support it needs.
Reduce LDL cholesterol & Increase HDL
Mounjaro helps reduce LDL cholesterol, lowering the strain on your cardiovascular system and improving overall artery health. By supporting lower LDL levels, it contributes to cleaner blood flow and a healthier heart.
Mounjaro works to increase HDL levels, strengthening your body’s natural defense against arterial plaque buildup. A higher HDL level provides added protection, keeping your cardiovascular system more resilient and efficient.
Mounjaro offers a scientifically backed solution for those who have hit a plateau with diet, exercise, or over-the-counter weight loss pills that don’t deliver results.
Side Effects and Monitoring
When starting any new medication, especially one as powerful as Mounjaro, understanding potential side effects and safety protocols is essential. At U.n.i Klinik Sandakan, we prioritize safety and patient education before prescribing weight loss treatments.
Common Side Effects
Most people tolerate Mounjaro well, but some may experience:
- Nausea
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Decreased appetite
- Fatigue or dizziness
- Injection site discomfort
These side effects often improve after the first few weeks as your body adjusts.
Rare but Serious Effects
Rarely, patients may report:
- Pancreatitis
- Gallbladder issues
- Thyroid C-cell tumours (in animal studies)
Ongoing Monitoring & Support
Patients on Mounjaro are not left on their own. We offer:
- Scheduled follow-up consultations
- Lifestyle and nutritional support
- Adjustments to dosage if side effects arise
This is why a full medical screening is done before starting Mounjaro, and patients are monitored throughout treatment.
