Like all prescription medicines, Mounjaro may cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them. The most commonly reported include:

• Nausea

• Diarrhoea

• Decreased appetite

• Vomiting

• Constipation
  

These side effects are usually mild to moderate and often improve as your body adjusts to the treatment. Serious side effects are rare, but it’s essential to discuss any concerns with your prescribing clinician.

Important: Always read the patient information leaflet supplied with your medication for the full list of side effects and safety advice.

It works by targeting two natural hormones in your body – GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide).

These hormones help regulate appetite, digestion, and blood sugar levels. By activating them, Mounjaro:

• Slows how quickly food leaves your stomach (helping you feel fuller for longer)

• Reduces appetite and cravings

• Helps the body use insulin more effectively

The result is improved control over eating habits and steady, medically supported weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes.

Note: It must always be prescribed and monitored by a qualified medical professional.
