Laois Pharmacy offers Mounjaro (tirzepatide) from €238 for the 2.5mg starter dose and €315 for the 5mg dose.

What is Mounjaro (Tirzepatide)?
Mounjaro contains tirzepatide, a dual GLP-1 / GIP receptor agonist, the first of its kind. Unlike semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy) which targets only GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide acts on two of these hormone pathways at once, which reduces appetite and helps weight loss. In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, adults on the 10mg and 15mg doses lost about 20% of their body weight on average over 72 weeks (19.5% and 20.9%), alongside diet and exercise.

Mounjaro Strengths in Ireland, 2.5mg to 15mg
One of the most common questions we get on WhatsApp is “what other strengths of Mounjaro do you have?” Mounjaro (tirzepatide) comes in six KwikPen strengths, and Laois Pharmacy can dispense every one of them on a valid prescription, in store in Portlaoise or by cold-chain delivery anywhere in the Republic of Ireland.
| Strength | Where it fits in treatment | Our price |
|---|---|---|
| Mounjaro 2.5mg | Starting dose for the first 4 weeks, lets your body adjust | €238 |
| Mounjaro 5mg | Usual dose from week 5 onwards, many people stay here | €315 |
| Mounjaro 7.5mg | Step-up if your prescriber advises, after at least 4 weeks on 5mg | Ask on WhatsApp |
| Mounjaro 10mg | Further step-up, at least 4 weeks apart | Ask on WhatsApp |
| Mounjaro 12.5mg | Further step-up, at least 4 weeks apart | Ask on WhatsApp |
| Mounjaro 15mg | Maximum licensed dose | Ask on WhatsApp |
How Mounjaro dosing works: treatment starts at 2.5mg once a week for four weeks, then moves to 5mg. If more effect is needed, your prescriber can increase the dose in 2.5mg steps, never sooner than four weeks apart, up to a maximum of 15mg weekly. Not everyone needs to go higher: plenty of people get excellent results and stay on 5mg. Dose changes are always your prescriber’s decision, and our pharmacist will check each new strength against your prescription before dispensing. If you are starting out, our guide on what to eat on Mounjaro and our weight management service page are good next reads.

Managing Mounjaro side effects: what actually helps
The most common Mounjaro side effects, from constipation and nausea to reflux and hair thinning, are all manageable. Here is what helps for each, and what our pharmacists suggest.
🚽 Constipation
Slower digestion is one of the most common things people notice, and it can leave you bunged up and uncomfortable. Drinking more water through the day helps a lot, and a gentle fibre supplement keeps things moving without being harsh. If bloating and cramping are the bigger problem, ask us what suits you.
🔥 Reflux and heartburn
These treatments slow how quickly your stomach empties, which can bring on heartburn or acid reflux for some people. An antacid that contains an alginate forms a protective raft on top of your stomach contents to ease the burning. If reflux is frequent, or it lasts more than a week or two, see your GP, because you may need a different treatment.
💪 Protecting muscle while you lose weight
When weight comes off quickly, some of it can be muscle rather than fat, and keeping your muscle is what keeps your metabolism, strength and energy up, and helps you keep the weight off afterwards. Two things make the biggest difference: eating enough protein and doing some resistance exercise.
Protein: aim for roughly 1.2 to 1.6g of protein per kilogram of body weight per day, spread across meals, for most adults that is about 25 to 35g at each meal. Because Mounjaro reduces appetite, make protein the first thing on your plate: eggs, fish, chicken, Greek yoghurt, beans, lentils, or a whey protein shake on days you struggle to eat enough.
Resistance exercise: two or three short sessions a week using body-weight moves, resistance bands or light weights is enough to tell your body to hold on to muscle. Walking is great for general health, but on its own it does not protect muscle the way resistance work does.
Our pharmacists can talk through protein targets and suitable supplements with you, just ask in store or on WhatsApp. For meal ideas see our guide on what to eat on Mounjaro and Ozempic.
💧 Staying hydrated
Eating and drinking less makes it easy to get dehydrated, which shows up as headaches, tiredness and dizziness. An electrolyte drink puts back the salts your body needs, not just plain water. Electrolyte tablets that you drop into a glass of water are an easy way to do it.
🥗 Filling nutrient gaps
When your appetite drops right off, you eat less of everything, including the vitamins and minerals your body still needs every day. A good daily multivitamin quietly covers those gaps. If you are eating very little, or cutting back on meat, it is easy to run low on vitamin B12, which contributes to normal energy metabolism and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Topping it up helps most if your level has actually dropped low.
👩 Hair thinning
Rapid weight loss can push more hairs than usual into the shedding phase, so a few months in you might notice extra hair in the brush. It is usually temporary, and a hair supplement with the right nutrients can support normal, healthy growth while your body settles.
🌙 Cramps, sleep and regularity
Magnesium is one of the quiet heroes here. It supports normal muscle function so it can ease cramps, it helps with sleep, and it gives sluggish digestion a gentle nudge, all common issues on these treatments. If you are not sure which type suits you, our full guide walks you through it.
☀️ Bones and energy with vitamin D
Fast weight loss can take a toll on your bones, and most of us in Ireland run low on vitamin D anyway, especially through the winter. A daily vitamin D supports normal bones, muscles and immune function. Our guide explains exactly how much you need by age.
