Can I travel after taking Mounjaro 2.5 mg

[Chennaigirlie]

I am a consultant who travels mon to Thursday and I want to take my injection tomorrow (Friday) but this week I also travel on Saturday to Monday for personal and Tuesday to Thursday for work.

i want to take the injection on Fridays so that I always know I will be at home, however my question is if I start at 2.5 mg on Friday, will I be able to take my Saturday flight?

Do you want me to wait and do next week? The medicine is already sitting in the fridge for a week. Pls help.

I don’t think anyone can give you a definitive answer to that question, because some people have side effects, others don’t. As you can’t possibly know which group you fall into, the safest option is to take it when you have no commitments for the day or so after the jab. The fact that the pen has been in the fridge doesn’t matter unless its expiry date is very soon, which you can check on the packaging. Mine have usually had a life of about a year when unopened.

Some people have gastric side effects but it’s very unusual to have severe ones. You could take a packet of loperamide with you in the unlikely event that you had some diarrhea.

I always have loperamide in my travel med kit because once developed norovirus on a ferry.

You have the rest of your life. Wait a week. You might be one of the side effect people and you do not want those side effects on a plane.
One of the best things to come from WLI for me is the reduction of all or nothing panic. A week will be ok and Friday is a good plan. Took a few months for me to figure out what I can and can’t eat and it’s good to be home on the bad days
