About this Product
Mounjaro is a new weight loss treatment option that’s showing great promise for those struggling to lose weight. By helping to control appetite and regulate digestion, Mounjaro injections can support significant weight loss when combined with a healthy lifestyle. In the first 1-4 weeks on Mounjaro, you’ll start on a low dose of 2.5 mg to help your body adjust and reduce the risk of side effects before gradually increasing the strength to support your weight loss journey.
When starting Mounjaro injections, follow the directions provided by your healthcare professional closely. Typically, you’ll begin with a low dose of 2.5 mg for the first four weeks to allow your body to adjust. Mounjaro is administered as a weekly injection, usually in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. It’s important to use the medication on the same day each week, and if you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible, as long as it’s within four days of the missed dose. Always rotate the injection site to avoid irritation, and consult your pharmacist or doctor if you have any concerns about administering the injection or adjusting your dose.
Like any medication, Mounjaro can cause side effects, though not everyone experiences them. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and reduced appetite, particularly in the first few weeks as your body adjusts to the treatment. Less common but more serious side effects may include pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, or allergic reactions. If you experience severe abdominal pain, persistent nausea, or signs of an allergic reaction such as swelling or difficulty breathing, seek medical attention immediately. It’s important to speak to your healthcare provider if side effects become bothersome or do not go away.
Before using Mounjaro injections, it is important to be aware of certain product warnings. Mounjaro should not be used if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2. It is also not suitable for those who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the medication. Additionally, Mounjaro may cause hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar), particularly when taken with other diabetes medications. Always inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as Mounjaro may not be suitable during these times. Be sure to discuss your medical history with your healthcare provider to ensure Mounjaro is safe for you.
