Does Mounjaro Cause Erectile Dysfunction (Top voted first)

It’s a great medication. Thus far I have lost 20 pounds with ease along with my normal cardio routine; I’m experiencing the possible non life threatening side effects. However there is a side effect that is not listed which I’m experiencing since starting the dosage regimen to 10mg: erectile dysfunction. 2 other men I met via pharmacy told me that they are also affected & ED medication does not have any effect.

We all know that it’s a 1x per week dosage so I put it through the test I had gone 9 days without the injection & I started to feel my ability returning. Needless to say the medication starts to weaken in your metabolism by the 10th day I was functioning normal again, however I would not recommend missing a dosage date. I’m back on my dosage which I may go back to 7.5mg.

Let me make a bold statement being PhD of industrial & international marketing & a CEO; many men may refuse mounjaro if the fact is made known. Mounjaro's initial marketing campaign was very aggressive. Eli Lily has a lot invested in the medication which is already successful. Conclusively mounjaro is a great medication. I can work around the side effect issue. Love to hear some responses.

Oddly enough, neither DailyMed or MedlinePlus list erectile dysfunction as a known side effect of Mounjaro (Tirzepatide).

[1] dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=d2d7da5d-ad07-4228-955f-cf7e355c8cc0

[2] medlineplus.gov/druginfo/meds/a622044

However, they do suggest reporting any serious or unusual side effects to the FDA’s MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program online (fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch) or by phone (1-800-332-1088).

The irony here is that there are studies investigating the role of glucose-lowering medications (such as Mounjaro) in combatting erectile dysfunction and putting it into remission - Quite the contrary of what others here are reporting.

Yeah this is definitely a thing. I'm just on the 5 and I probably had maybe two erections since starting it. I'm on testosterone and Cialis neither of which do anything. I'll be calling my urologist to see what he says. It appears to be an undocumented side effect.

Hi, I am on Mounjaro and from the second day of the first shot I lost all desire, no orgasm, no libido.

everyone needs to make a report with the FDA, its free to do and easy to do. Please report this issue.

I have been experiencing the same. I have been dosed up to 12.5 and it got progressively worse as the dosage increased. Love the medicine but hate that side effect.

I was very interested in your posting as I too am now experiencing problems. A few questions for you and anyone else who can share:

Has cutting back on the dosage solved the problem?

Has ANY of the currently available ED medications helped?

Is it possible that this side effect will dissipate over time (as many other side effects can)as your body gets used to Mounjaro?

Has anyone contacted Lilly to verify this side effect?

I had a similar issue with Ozempic, was taken off and put on Mounjaro, started low (no weight loss) and have increased to 10mg (still no weight loss)... Some ED started at 7.5 mg, though it's really bad with 10mg, and Cialis doesn't help.
