Mounjaro Is Prescription Only
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a Schedule 4 prescription only medicine in South Africa, registered with SAHPRA, distributed locally by Aspen Pharmacare under licence from Eli Lilly. It cannot legally be purchased without a valid prescription from a registered SA medical practitioner. We do not supply medication directly.
SAHPRA has issued warnings about substandard and falsified semaglutide and GLP-1 products sold outside the regulated pharmacy chain. Buying tirzepatide from overseas online sellers or compounding services is risky and often illegal in South Africa. Only the Aspen distributed Mounjaro product from a SAPC registered pharmacy is the regulated route.
Not A Cosmetic Treatment
Mounjaro is approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and chronic weight management in adults meeting specific clinical criteria. It is not approved or appropriate for cosmetic weight loss in people who do not meet these criteria.
