From the Mounjaro label
- Dosing starts at 2.5 mg weekly; increases are in 2.5 mg steps after at least 4 weeks on the current dose.[1]
- Most nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in the trials came during dose escalation and decreased over time.[1]
- Acute gallbladder disease was reported by 0.6% of Mounjaro-treated patients and 0% on placebo in placebo-controlled trials.[1]
- Mounjaro slows stomach emptying, which can change how oral medicines are absorbed.[1]
- With insulin or a sulfonylurea, the risk of low blood sugar rises, which matters on days you cannot eat.[1]
Call now rather than waiting for the review
- Severe or persistent stomach pain, sometimes spreading to the back, with or without vomiting: possible pancreatitis.[1]
- Upper stomach pain, fever, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or clay-colored stools: possible gallbladder problem.[1]
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea that does not go away: tell your healthcare provider right away.[1]
To settle at the review
- Was any of my dose steps quicker than the label's minimum interval?
- Would stepping back to the last dose I tolerated, then increasing more slowly, make sense?
- Is an anti-nausea medicine appropriate for me, and which one?
- Do I need tests for my gallbladder, pancreas or stomach emptying?
- If I stop Mounjaro, what will control my blood sugar instead?
