What should you do if you experience side effects?
If you experience side effects while taking Mounjaro for weight loss, most mild symptoms like nausea, diarrhoea, or constipation are common and may improve as your body adjusts, but you should contact your doctor if they become severe, last more than a few weeks, or interfere with daily life. If you have serious symptoms such as severe stomach pain, signs of dehydration, allergic reactions, or difficulty breathing, seek medical help immediately. You can also report any side effects through the UK Yellow Card Scheme to help monitor medication safety.
