## What is Tizaro®?

Tizaro® is a UK-based prescription weight-loss programme that supplies Tirzepatide pens — the same active ingredient as Mounjaro and Zepbound — at a more affordable price. Tirzepatide is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that has been clinically shown to support significant weight reduction by suppressing appetite and improving glycaemic control.

## Tirzepatide clinical context

Tirzepatide was approved by the UK MHRA and US FDA based on the SURMOUNT clinical trial programme. In SURMOUNT-1 (2022, New England Journal of Medicine), participants on 15mg Tirzepatide achieved an average weight reduction of approximately 22.5% over 72 weeks — among the largest weight-loss results recorded for any pharmacotherapy.

Mechanism: Tirzepatide simultaneously activates the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptors. This dual action reduces appetite, slows gastric emptying and improves insulin sensitivity.

## Tizaro® dosing schedule

| Dose | Typical weeks | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 2.5mg | Weeks 1–4 | Starting dose to allow body to adjust |
| 5mg | Weeks 5–8 | First "effective" dose for sustained results |
| 7.5mg | Weeks 9–12 | Titration step-up |
| 10mg | Weeks 13–16 | Common long-term maintenance dose |
| 12.5mg | Weeks 17–20 | Higher titration for additional effect |
| 15mg | Week 21+ | Maximum approved dose |

Administration: one subcutaneous injection per week, on the same day each week, into abdomen, thigh or upper arm. Rotate the injection site each week.

## Pricing

Tizaro® pens start from £25 GBP per pen for the 2.5mg starting dose, increasing with higher doses. DHL Express cold-chain shipping is a £41 GBP flat-rate. Klarna pay-later is available at checkout. Pricing makes Tizaro® among the most affordable Tirzepatide programmes available globally.

## Comparison with alternatives

- **Mounjaro (Eli Lilly)**: Same active ingredient (Tirzepatide). Tizaro® is a more affordable alternative.
- **Zepbound (Eli Lilly, US brand of Mounjaro for obesity)**: Same active ingredient.
- **Wegovy (Novo Nordisk)**: Active ingredient is semaglutide (single GLP-1 agonist). Tizaro/Tirzepatide produces larger average weight loss in head-to-head data (SURMOUNT vs STEP trials).
- **Ozempic (Novo Nordisk)**: Semaglutide, primarily licensed for type 2 diabetes. Lower-dose than Wegovy.
- **Saxenda (Novo Nordisk)**: Daily liraglutide injection. Older generation, smaller average weight loss.

## Eligibility
