Starting at 2.5 mg for four weeks, your dose will gradually increase until you reach your maximum tolerated dose (up to 15 mg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Following your dosing schedule correctly is crucial to achieving your weight loss goals. Using the wrong dose or injecting at the wrong time could make Mounjaro weight loss injections less effective. It could worsen side effects, and you might end up wasting your medication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/\">Mounjaro injections<\/a> safely and effectively, this guide explains everything you need to know about dosage. You\u2019ll learn what the starting dose is, how long you\u2019ll remain on each dose, how to inject your Mounjaro KwikPen and more.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And your journey doesn\u2019t stop when you hit your target weight. Maintaining your success is just as important. We\u2019ll also let you know how to maintain the weight you have lost \u2013 with or without Mounjaro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mounjaro-dosage\">Mounjaro Dosage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-the-mounjaro-doses\">What Are the Mounjaro Doses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are <strong>six different doses of Mounjaro<\/strong>. The 2.5 mg dose is the lowest dose available and 15 mg is the highest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2.5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>7.5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>10 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>12.5 mg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>15 mg<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-mounjaro-dosing-schedule\">The Mounjaro Dosing Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The starting dose<\/strong> is the lowest dose of Mounjaro (2.5 mg). You\u2019ll take this dose <strong>once a week for four weeks.<\/strong> After four weeks, your healthcare provider will prescribe you the next dose up (5 mg).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your prescriber will increase your Mounjaro dose in <strong>steps of 2.5 mg<\/strong>. This gradual increase is called <strong>\u201ctitration\u201d<\/strong>. You\u2019ll stay at each dose for <strong>at least four weeks<\/strong> until you reach the highest dose you can tolerate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you\u2019ve taken the 5 mg dose for four weeks, your healthcare provider will recommend one of two options. You either stay on the same dose or you move onto the next dose (7.5 mg), followed by 10 mg. If you can tolerate it, your clinician will prescribe you 12.5 mg, followed by the 15 mg dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to move up a dose will depend on a variety of factors. This might include starting body weight, how your body responds to the medication and underlying medical conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mounjaro-titration-why-is-it-important\">Mounjaro Titration: Why Is It Important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Titration allows your body to become accustomed to Mounjaro and build tolerance to the medication. This reduces the risk of side effects, like nausea, bloating and diarrhoea. So it\u2019s important you don\u2019t skip doses or move to higher doses too quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe low starting dose is crucial,\u201d <strong>Aamina Rafiq, Lead Pharmacist at Simple Online Pharmacy, <\/strong>explains. \u201cIt allows the medication to build up in your system safely, so your body can adjust to it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cComplete all four doses of your current pen before increasing strength, following manufacturer and prescriber guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou may not notice changes until you reach higher doses.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mounjaro-dosage-chart\">Mounjaro Dosage Chart<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each injectable pen contains four doses of Mounjaro, which you inject once a week.

After 72 weeks, one study found <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nejm.org\/doi\/10.1056\/NEJMoa2206038\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">patients lost on average<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>16% of their starting body weight on a maintenance dose of <strong>5 mg<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>21.4% of their starting body weight on a maintenance dose of <strong>10 mg<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>22.5% of their starting body weight on a maintenance dose of <strong>15 mg<\/strong><br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-should-i-inject-my-mounjaro-dose\">When Should I Inject My Mounjaro Dose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You should inject your Mounjaro dose <strong>on the same day each week<\/strong>.\u202fYou also need to <strong>take it at the same time <\/strong>each week. It can be helpful to set a reminder on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re wondering about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/best-time-day-take-mounjaro\/\">best time to take Mounjaro<\/a>, a lot of patients like to inject their dose in the evening.  This means they can avoid potential side effects during the daytime. But you can choose any time that works for you.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mounjaro-injection-sites-where-should-i-inject-my-dose\">Mounjaro Injection Sites: Where Should I Inject My Dose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can choose where you inject Mounjaro. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/a-guide-to-mounjaro-injections-sites\/\">Suitable Mounjaro injection sites<\/a> include the front of your thigh, below your belly button and the back of your upper arm. Each site has its benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Abdomen:<\/strong> Easy to reach and has a large surface area. This means you can change where on the abdomen to inject Mounjaro each week. It is often less painful because it has a layer of fat, which can also improve absorption.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Thigh:<\/strong> Large surface area and enough subcutaneous fat (under the skin) for effective absorption. It\u2019s easy to see what you\u2019re doing, which can give you better control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Upper Arm:<\/strong> Easy to hide if you don\u2019t want your injection site to be visible. You\u2019ll need to inject it in the back of your arm, between your elbow and shoulder. This makes it hard to reach, so you\u2019ll need someone to inject it for you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose a different injection site each week to avoid injection site reactions or infections. This means you can inject Mounjaro:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In the same area (e.g. abdomen), but in a different section of that area; or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In a different area. For example, if you injected Mounjaro in your thigh this week, you could inject it in your arm next week.<br> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-use-mounjaro-step-by-step-instructions\">How to Use Mounjaro: Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s natural to be a bit nervous before you inject your first dose, especially if you\u2019ve never used a GLP-1 weight loss treatment before. But don\u2019t worry, the pen is easier to use than you\u2019d think. And you should only feel a small pinch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s a step-by-step guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/how-to-administer-mounjaro\/\">how to use your Mounjaro injection<\/a>. Make sure to read through the following instructions carefully before you inject your dose.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prepare to Inject Your Mounjaro Dose<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your Mounjaro pen will arrive in secure, temperature-controlled packaging. Inside, you&#8217;ll find your KwikPen, <strong>filled with four doses to last four weeks<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A leaflet that explains how to use Mounjaro<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Single-use needles<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A medical grade sharps bin (if you\u2019ve ordered one)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Check you\u2019ve received the right medication and the correct strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you inject Mounjaro, check that the liquid in the pen is clear. It should be free from any particles and should not be frozen or cloudy. Make sure your KwikPen is not expired or damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water. Or use an antibacterial hand sanitiser.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How to Administer the Injection<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ve washed your hands and checked that the pen contains the correct dosage, it\u2019s not damaged and the liquid is clear. Now you\u2019re ready to administer your dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you inject the dose, you must prime the pen each time. So here\u2019s how to do it:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Prime Your Pen:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Remove the pen\u2019s cap and remove the paper tab from the outer needle shield.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select a new needle and attach it securely to the pen by placing it on straight. Twist the needle clockwise until it stops turning. The needle should pierce through the red seal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep the needle straight.<\/strong> If it&#8217;s at angle, it could bend or move, which can prevent the needle from attaching securely. This will result in your pen not working and you could waste your dose.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you\u2019ve attached the needle, remove the outer needle shield. Keep it safe so you can use it again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You will also find an inner needle shield. Remove this shield before injecting the dose. You can throw this shield away.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn the knob on your pen until you hear two clicks and a line appears in the dose window.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Hold the pen so the needle is pointing up. Tap the cartridge holder to get rid of any air bubbles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Push the knob on the pen until a 0 icon appears in the window. Hold for five seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;If a small amount of liquid comes out, you have successfully primed the pen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the pen doesn\u2019t release any liquid, check the needle is properly attached and that it has pierced the bulb of the pen. If the inner needle looks damaged, use a new needle and repeat these steps.<br><br>If the pen doesn&#8217;t release any liquid after the third attempt, get support from your prescriber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cPlease remember to prime your pen,\u201d says <strong>Richard Wood, a pharmacist at Simple Online Pharmacy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe number one reason pens break is that patients forget to prime the pen before use. They often don\u2019t notice the needle isn\u2019t inserted correctly and then the pen bursts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt should not feel hard to press down the dose plunger. If it is hard to press, stop what you are doing and call us first.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inject Your Dose:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Turn the knob on your pen until the 1 icon appears in the dose window.<br>Inject the needle at a 90\u00b0 angle into your chosen site. Make sure the needle pierces your skin.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Push the knob until it stops. Hold for five seconds. Check the 0 icon has appeared in the window before you remove the needle.<br>If the 0 icon hasn\u2019t appeared, insert the needle into a new injection site and administer the dose. You don\u2019t have to reset it to 1.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After Injecting:<\/strong>\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you notice a pinprick of blood, use a cotton bud and gently press it on the injection site. Don\u2019t rub it.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put the outer needle shield back on your pen and unscrew the needle to remove. Dispose of the needle in your sharps bin.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put the cap back on your pen and store it safely. If there\u2019s liquid in the pen after you have injected your fourth dose, do not use it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-store-your-mounjaro-kwikpen\">How to Store Your Mounjaro KwikPen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/how-to-store-mounjaro-tirzepatide\/\">store your Mounjaro KwikPen correctly<\/a> when you receive it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refrigerate it at 2\u2103 to 8\u2103 before the first use. This will maximise its shelf life if you\u2019re not using the pen straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After using the first dose from your pen, you can keep Mounjaro out of the fridge for up to 30 days, at a temperature below 30\u2103. So only remove the pen from the fridge when you&#8217;re ready to start using it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-inject-the-extra-dose\">Can I Inject the Extra Dose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, it\u2019s not safe to inject <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/mounjaro-fifth-dose-is-it-safe\/\">the \u201cfifth dose\u201d<\/a> or \u201cgolden dose\u201d. These terms refer to the small amount of liquid left in your Mounjaro pen after your fourth dose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This \u201cbuffer\u201d liquid is there to make sure there\u2019s enough liquid in the pen for each dose. Injecting this liquid can lead to under or over-dosage, each of which carries its own risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you try to inject this buffer liquid, you also risk damaging the pen. This makes it unsafe to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of Mounjaro, has announced that a <a href=\"https:\/\/care.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/info\/mj-update\">new, modified version of the Mounjaro KwikPen<\/a> will be released in April 2026. This pen will contain less of this extra liquid, so patients will no longer be able to inject a &#8220;fifth dose&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-can-i-microdose-or-split-mounjaro-doses\">Can I \u2018Microdose\u2019 or Split Mounjaro Doses?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No, you should not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/microdosing-glp-1s-is-it-a-good-idea\/\">microdose Mounjaro<\/a> or split your injection into smaller doses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The manufacturer of Mounjaro measures the doses precisely. Altering the dose amount can cause underdosing, making it ineffective, or overdosing, which raises the risk of complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No clinical evidence proves microdosing Mounjaro is effective either. Most claims supporting the practice are anecdotal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-happens-if-i-miss-a-dose\">What Happens If I Miss a Dose?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When life gets busy, you might forget to administer your Mounjaro injection on your chosen day. If you miss a dose, it\u2019s really important you follow this guidance:<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Within four days of your scheduled injection<\/strong>, take your dose as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If more than four days have passed<\/strong>, skip the missed dose and take your next injection on the regularly scheduled day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If it\u2019s been seven to 14 days<\/strong> since your scheduled injection, take the injection as soon as you remember.

So take some time to celebrate your success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, your treatment plan doesn\u2019t stop when the scale hits your target weight. Keeping it off is equally as important. So you\u2019ll need to understand how to maintain your weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-to-do-when-you-reach-your-goal-weight\">What to Do When You Reach Your Goal Weight<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you\u2019ve reached a weight you\u2019re happy with, you have two choices. You can keep using Mounjaro to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/mounjaro-how-to-maintain-after-reaching-your-goal-weight\/\">maintain your weight loss<\/a>. Or you can stop taking it and use healthy habits to keep the weight off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maintaining Weight Loss Without Mounjaro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you stop taking Mounjaro, there is a chance you will gain at least some of the weight that you have lost back. In one randomised trial, those who switched from Mounjaro to a placebo after 36 weeks <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jama\/fullarticle\/2812936\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">experienced weight regain of 14%<\/a>. That\u2019s why some patients prefer to continue taking the treatment for long-term weight management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, weight regain isn\u2019t inevitable if you stop taking the medication. During your treatment, your prescriber will encourage you to eat a healthy diet. They\u2019ll also recommend you exercise and take better care of your emotional wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maintaining positive lifestyle changes you&#8217;ve built over the course of your treatment will help you keep the weight off beyond Mounjaro. It\u2019s important to take things slow and make small changes to diet and exercise that last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don\u2019t have to stop using Mounjaro immediately. You can gradually decrease your dose, which gives you time to make your new lifestyle a habit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Maintaining Weight Loss With Mounjaro<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s normal to feel anxious at the thought of stopping weight loss medications. Mounjaro works by suppressing your appetite. So some patients find it hard to maintain their weight loss as their appetite returns to pre-Mounjaro levels. That\u2019s why some choose to stay on Mounjaro to maintain their weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you reach your weight loss goals, your clinician can prescribe your weight loss medication for maintenance. At Simple, we can do this even if your BMI is within a healthy range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However your clinician will only continue prescribing Mounjaro if you\u2019re still benefiting from it. Like if you\u2019re maintaining weight loss, not experiencing side effects and you\u2019re not hearing much food noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-mounjaro-maintenance-dose\">The Mounjaro Maintenance Dose<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/mounjaro-maintenance-dose\/\">maintenance dose of Mounjaro<\/a> is the dose you take to maintain your weight loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only certain doses of Mounjaro are licensed for maintenance. The Mounjaro doses approved for maintenance are <strong>5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your healthcare provider may be able to prescribe 2.5 mg, 7.5 mg and 12.5 mg for maintenance. Clinicians call this &#8220;off-label&#8221; use, meaning it falls outside the usual licensing terms. This decision will depend on individual needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right maintenance dose for you will depend on several factors. This might include your weight loss goals and how well your body tolerates the medication. The goal is to achieve steady, effective weight loss while also experiencing minimal side effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your healthcare provider will help you determine your ideal maintenance dose and tweak your dose as necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-long-can-i-take-mounjaro-for\">How Long Can I Take Mounjaro For?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no limit on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simpleonlinepharmacy.co.uk\/health-advice\/weight-loss\/mounjaro\/how-long-stay-mounjaro\/\">how long you can use Mounjaro for<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However your healthcare provider will only continue prescribing Mounjaro if you are still benefiting from it. They will review your progress and provide recommendations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-mounjaro-safe-for-weight-loss\">Is Mounjaro Safe for Weight Loss?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, Mounjaro is safe for weight loss. The UK\u2019s Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) licensed and authorised Mounjaro for weight loss in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most users tolerate Mounjaro well. However, like all medications, Mounjaro does have side effects. The most common side effects, affecting more than one in 10 patients, are gastrointestinal (stomach-related). These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Diarrhoea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stomach pain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is also a risk of serious side effects, although these are less common. Pancreatitis is an uncommon side effect, which may affect one in 100 patients. Severe allergic reactions, like anaphylaxis, are a rare side effect, which may affect one in 1,000 patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mounjaro isn\u2019t suitable for everyone, either. For example, you shouldn\u2019t use Mounjaro if:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You&#8217;ve been diagnosed with \u2013 or you have a family history of \u2013 medullary thyroid cancer (MTC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You have kidney disease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You\u2019re pregnant or breastfeeding<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A clinician will assess you and only prescribe Mounjaro if it\u2019s safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-support-for-mounjaro-dosage-and-weight-maintenance\">Get Support for Mounjaro Dosage and Weight Maintenance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Understanding the correct dosing schedule is key to achieving long-term success on Mounjaro. But dosage varies from person to person \u2013 what works for one person might not work for you. Your healthcare provider will work alongside you to determine the best dose for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember you\u2019re not alone.
