Some people may experience side effects like nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhoea while taking Mounjaro®. These side effects are usually temporary and tend to improve within a few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication.
To minimise potential side effects like nausea or diarrhoea, which typically subside within a few weeks, your Mounjaro® dose will be gradually increased every four weeks. You can also manage any initial discomfort by getting fresh air, sipping cold drinks, and eating smaller, more frequent meals.
While uncommon (affects 1in 100), some people taking Mounjaro® may experience side effects such as an increased risk of gallstone disease, pancreatitis, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), or severe allergic reactions. Additionally, those with diabetic retinopathy may notice changes in their vision. It's important to contact our clinical team if you experience any concerning symptoms
Rarely (1 in 1000), Mounjaro® may cause kidney problems, including reduced function or failure. Signs include a metallic taste in your mouth, decreased urination, and unexplained bruising. If you notice these symptoms, contact our clinical team immediately.
Although serious side effects are rare, they can include allergic reactions or pancreatitis. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like difficulty breathing, a swollen face or throat, or severe abdominal pain. For complete details about the side effects of Mounjaro, please see the manufacturer’s patient leaflet.
