What happens if you accidentally inject Mounjaro into muscle instead of under the skin?
Mounjaro is designed for subcutaneous injection under the skin into fatty tissue for proper absorption and weight loss effects, and injecting it into muscle by accident is not recommended. This could lead to inconsistent absorption, potentially reducing its effectiveness for appetite control and weight management. Contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist immediately if this happens, as they can advise on next steps for safe use.
- Avoid muscle injections: Mounjaro must go under the skin, not into muscle, to work properly for weight loss.
- Risks include poor absorption: May affect how well it reduces appetite.
