Where on the body should Mounjaro be injected?
Mounjaro for weight loss should be injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) in one of three recommended areas: the abdomen (stomach), the front of the thighs, or the back of the upper arm (the arm site usually requires help from someone else). All these sites are equally effective, but it is important to rotate where you inject each week to avoid skin problems. Avoid injecting into areas with scars, bruises, or irritation, and always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions.
