What is the New Generation Slimming Pen?
Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) | Dual-Action GLP-1 and GIP Intestinal Hormone Therapy for Weight Loss and Blood Sugar Control
Mounjaro is the world’s first injectable prescription medication that simultaneously activates both GLP-1 and GIP gut hormone receptors. It is primarily indicated for blood glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes and may also be used as an adjunctive therapy for weight management in patients with obesity or metabolic risk factors.
Its active ingredient, tirzepatide, simultaneously regulates appetite, blood glucose, and fat metabolism, achieving dual metabolic regulation through "blood sugar control + weight management."
Don’t Underestimate Obesity: “Sugar Obesity” Has Become a Global Metabolic Warning Sign
According to data from the Department of Health, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among adults in Taiwan is as high as 50.8%, meaning that one in every two people is overweight. A long-term diet
high in fat and sugar can lead to a gradual progression from insulin resistance to prediabetes and eventually to type 2 diabetes.
Key Clinical Statistics
- There are approximately 2.3 million people with diabetes in Taiwan
- Of these, over 80% of patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese
- Medically known as "Diabesity"
(WHO / IDF / Taiwan’s Department of Health)
What is Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is a prescription medication developed by Eli Lilly that has been approved by the U.S. FDA, the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (TFDA).
- Active ingredient: Tirzepatide
- Administration: Once-weekly subcutaneous injection
- Mechanism of action:
- Simultaneously activates the dual GLP-1 and GIP gut hormone receptors
- Acts on the gut, pancreas, liver, adipose tissue, and central nervous system
Primary physiological effects
✔ Promotes insulin secretion and reduces glucagon
✔ Slows gastric emptying and increases satiety
✔ Suppresses appetite and reduces calorie intake
✔ Improves insulin resistance
✔ Promotes fat metabolism and reduces body weight
Why is Mengjianle considered an "upgraded version of Shoushoubi"?
Most weight-loss pens on the market (such as Ozempic and Saxenda) target only the single gut hormone GLP-1.
In contrast, Mangenle is the world’s first dual-action GLP-1 + GIP agonist, demonstrating more comprehensive metabolic regulation capabilities in both blood glucose control and weight loss.
Mengjianle vs. Shoushoubi (Clinical Highlights)
| Project | Mounjaro | Traditional GLP-1 pen |
|---|---|---|
| Intestinal Hormone Action | GLP-1 + GIP | GLP-1 Only |
| Weight loss | 15–20.9% | Approx. 10–14% |
| Reduction in HbA1c | Approx. 2.0–2.3% | Approx. 1.0–1.8% |
| Injection frequency | Once a week | Daily or weekly |

Frequently Asked Questions About Mengjianle
What makes Mengjianle different from other slimming pens?
Metronidazole is the world’s first dual-action incretin injection that simultaneously targets both GLP-1 and GLP-1.
Compared to traditional slimming pens that only target GLP-1 (such as Ozempic and Saxenda), Metronidazole can simultaneously regulate appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve insulin sensitivity and lipid metabolism.
It only requires once-weekly injections, and clinical studies have shown more comprehensive effects on weight loss and blood sugar stability. Whether side effects are fewer depends on individual constitution and dosage adjustment methods and requires evaluation by a physician.
Who is suitable to use Mengjianle?
The following groups can be assessed by a physician to determine their suitability:
✅ Obese individuals with a BMI ≥ 30
✅ Individuals with a BMI 27–30 and comorbid metabolic diseases (such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, fatty liver, cardiovascular risk)
✅ Individuals with type 2 diabetes
✅ Individuals with high visceral fat, difficulty controlling their diet, or those who have been stuck at a weight plateau for a long time
Who is not suitable to use Manganex?
The following conditions are not recommended for use or require special caution:
❌ History of medullary thyroid carcinoma or multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN2)
❌ Pregnant, breastfeeding, or women planning to conceive
❌ Patients with type 1 diabetes
❌ History of severe gastrointestinal disease, pancreatitis, or cholecystitis
What are some important precautions to take before use?
- Not recommended for pregnant/breastfeeding/preparing women.
(Furthermore, Meglumine may affect the absorption of oral contraceptives; it is recommended to use a non-oral contraceptive method and use contraception for at least 4 weeks.)
- A complete evaluation is required before use for patients with abnormal liver or kidney function, severe gastroparesis, or pancreatic or gallbladder disease.
- Do not use concurrently with other GLP-1 drugs.
- Patients with a history of depression or mood disorders should be closely monitored; if mood deteriorates, a follow-up visit should be made immediately.
What are some common reactions or precautions after use?
Due to delayed gastric emptying, the following may occur initially:
Nausea, diarrhea, constipation
Bloating, indigestion, decreased appetite
Vomiting or abdominal pain
These symptoms mostly occur during the initial dose escalation and usually subside gradually over several days to weeks.
If significant redness, swelling, burning, severe pain, or persistent discomfort occurs at the injection site, please seek immediate medical attention for evaluation.
Can I buy Mengjianle in person or online?
No. Metronidazole is a prescription drug and must be prescribed by a physician after evaluation.
Do not obtain it through online resellers, parallel imports, or unknown channels to avoid:
Purchasing counterfeit drugs
Incorrect dosage
Serious side effects or medical risks
Can Mengjianle be covered by health insurance?
Currently, Megagen is a self-funded treatment and is not covered by National Health Insurance.
Whether it is suitable for use, the dosage, and the length of treatment need to be determined by a physician based on individual physical condition, metabolic status, and treatment goals.
Is Mengjianle safe?
Menganx has been approved by the US FDA, EU EMA, and Taiwan TFDA, and its efficacy and safety are supported by multiple large-scale international clinical trials.
With qualified physician evaluation, proper dosage adjustment, and regular follow-up, its overall safety and efficacy are high. However, it is not suitable for everyone and is not a health supplement; it must be used under professional medical guidance.
