Mounjaro and Semaglutide for Weight Loss in Mumbai: Doctor-Supervised GLP-1 Care

Quick answer: Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and semaglutide are prescription GLP-1 based medicines that reduce appetite and help weight loss. They should only be used under a doctor's care. At NuHealth in Nariman Point, Mumbai, a doctor first assesses whether one is suitable for you, then supervises treatment with nutrition and strength guidance to protect muscle, and regular follow-ups. Call 088799 88776 to book a consultation.

What are Mounjaro and semaglutide?

  • Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, given as a weekly injection (brands include Ozempic and Wegovy, and newer generic versions in India).
  • Mounjaro (tirzepatide) acts on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors and is also given as a weekly injection.

Both slow digestion, reduce hunger and support blood sugar control. They are prescription medicines and are not a substitute for nutrition, activity and sleep.

How doctor-supervised GLP-1 treatment works at NuHealth

  1. Assessment: a NuHealth doctor reviews your weight history, health conditions, current medicines and relevant blood tests.
  2. Decision: the doctor decides whether a GLP-1 medicine is suitable, and which one. Many people are better served by other approaches first.
  3. Gradual dosing: treatment usually starts at a low dose and is increased step by step to limit side effects.
  4. Nutrition and strength support: our dieticians plan protein intake and meals, and you are guided on strength training.
  5. Follow-ups: weight, body composition, side effects and blood markers are reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted.

How to avoid muscle loss on GLP-1 treatment

Rapid weight loss can include loss of muscle as well as fat. To protect muscle, NuHealth focuses on adequate daily protein, regular strength training, steady rather than very fast weight loss, and tracking body composition, not just weight, at follow-ups.

Common side effects and who should not take them

Common side effects include nausea, reduced appetite, constipation, diarrhoea and indigestion, usually worst when the dose is increased. These medicines are generally not used in pregnancy or breastfeeding, or in people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2, and need extra care in people with a history of pancreatitis. Your doctor will go through your own risks before you start.
