Overview

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist. The branded product Mounjaro has received TGA approval in Australia. The compounding pathway for tirzepatide is currently under review, and grey market supply has been increasing.

Australian Scheduling

Schedule 4 (Prescription Only). Mounjaro is TGA-approved and ARTG-listed. Compounding pathway is under active regulatory review. The TGA is monitoring the grey market supply closely.

Access Pathway

Available through telehealth providers and compounding pharmacies, though fewer providers offer it compared to semaglutide. The compounding pathway may face restrictions. Grey market availability is increasing but carries significant risk.
