Who can use Mounjaro?
Mounjaro is best suited for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI between 27 and 30 who also suffer from weight-related health conditions like prediabetes or high blood pressure. However, it’s crucial to consult your doctor before starting Mounjaro—especially if you have existing health issues or are taking other medications.
Who can’t use Mounjaro?
Only some people are candidates for weight loss medications. You should not use Mounjaro if you are allergic to any of the injection ingredients, especially tirzepatide. It is also unsuitable for people under 18.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, Mounjaro is not recommended.
If you are being treated for diabetes, you should speak to your doctor about using Mounjaro as it can cause low blood sugar when used with other medicines for type 2 diabetes, such as insulin.
Speak to your doctor before using Mounjaro if you have:
-
an existing health condition that affects the emptying of your stomach, such as severe gastroparesis
-
an eye condition, such as diabetic retinopathy
-
ever had pancreatitis, which is an inflammation of the pancreas
Mounjaro may interact with other medications, so consult your doctor if you take any prescription, over-the-counter drugs or herbal remedies.
Medications are most effective with lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet and regular exercise. They are not a substitute for healthy living. For more information, read the patient brochure.
