Should Mounjaro be taken with food or on an empty stomach?
Mounjaro for weight loss can be injected with or without food, as food does not affect how it is absorbed or works in your body. Taking it on an empty stomach is not necessary, and linking it to a meal can help you remember your weekly dose. While some sources note that not eating at all may increase stomach side effects like nausea, the injection itself is fine either way.
- Flexible timing: Inject Mounjaro anytime, with food or on an empty stomach, effectiveness stays the same.
- No absorption impact: Food doesn't change how the drug works for weight loss.
- Tip for side effects: Eat small, balanced meals to manage stomach issues, but injection timing is your choice.
