Mounjaro side effects

[daisyb2]

I am on week 3 of mounjaro 2.5mg, I feel awful this week, I have been fine the other 2 weeks. I have terrible pains in my upper abdomen and I have nausea constantly, tmi but I’ve also had the runs lots of times. Is this normal or should I be stopping taking this ?

Have you spoken to your provider? Have they advised anything?

How is your eating? Are you eating and drinking well?

It's not normal, in the sense that it's an unwanted side effect that won't affect the majority. Nausea and diarrhea are common side effects, stomach pain is potentially more concerning, as that can be associated with pancreatitis. I agree that you should contact your pharmacy and ask them for advice about that.

Side effects like this are usually associated with going up a dose, including when you are starting out, and usually settle down over time.

I have contacted them I’m just waiting on a reply. How long does diarrhoea last? This is day 4 and it is constant, it’s making me miserable. I’ve not really been eating as I have 0 appetite, I have the worst heartburn and no medicine is helping that either
