A BMI of 33 makes your brother a suitable candidate for GLP-1 receptor agonist therapy like tirzepatide (Mounjaro), especially if obesity is affecting his quality of life. These medications are effective but must be started under medical supervision with proper screening for contraindications and with realistic expectations about lifestyle changes alongside the medication.
Next Steps
Consult an endocrinologist or physician for a full medical assessment before starting any GLP-1 medication. Please consult me directly on Practo for a detailed evaluation.

Please share detailed medical history, then I can guide you further.
If at all necessary, start tab Mounjaro under medical supervision. Remember, it can cause relapse of obesity, if stopped immediately.
