Can Mounjaro help with PCOS symptoms beyond weight loss?

Mounjaro may help with PCOS symptoms beyond weight loss by improving insulin sensitivity, which can support hormonal balance and menstrual regularity. These benefits arise indirectly from its effects on metabolic function rather than direct treatment of PCOS. Evidence comes mainly from studies on weight loss and insulin resistance, with more research needed for PCOS-specific use.

Key points:

  • Mounjaro improves insulin sensitivity in PCOS, aiding metabolic health.
  • Weight loss from Mounjaro can indirectly enhance hormonal balance and menstrual cycles.
  • It may support fertility outcomes by reducing insulin resistance and promoting ovulation regularity.
  • Mounjaro is not licensed specifically for PCOS in the UK but can be prescribed for weight management if criteria are met.
