I'm not sure I am allowed to ask this... I'm getting quotes of $1k+. Am I doing something wrong? ## There are ads on many media for appx 249-350$ w/o insurance but 75$ initial "cost/fee" with online Dr's nationwide. I personally would feel better dealing with a Dr in PERSON to discuss pros and cons, as there are cons. Tirzepatide comes under many names also like Zepbound, which claims to be a replica of Mounjaro. You can have reactions to any drug obviously, but out of so many women I know who are taking one of the handful of weight loss injections none have any issues, but I still would rather be under a Dr's care just in case. Good luck. ## Google "Mounjaro saving program". That might help. I assume you do not have insurance. ## If you do not have diabe...

I’m in my second month taking Mounjaro for weight loss. I am in the first month on the .5 dosage. On week 2 I noticed an extremely itchy red welt at the injection site on my stomach. Week 3’s site is the same. Is anyone else experiencing this? Should I be concerned? I have no other side effects. ## Hello, Cindy! How are you? You should have youf doctor check it out, to be safe, because if you are having an allergic reaction, it could get worse with time, and repeated exposure. Most administration site reactions are benign, so it may not be anything to worry about, but it never hurts to be sure. The FDA lists other side effects of Mounjaro as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, appetite loss, and abdominal pain. Ref: Mounjaro Information ## Good afternoon. Let me ...

My pharmacy cannot get this drug and cannot advise when it will be available even though the manufacturer claims there is no shortage. Any advice? ## Have you tried checking with other pharmacies in your area? Mounjaro is most commonly used to help control blood sugar levels. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, diarrhea, and loss of appetite. Ref: Mounjaro Information ## Having the same problem here in Georgia. ## I am unable to refill my Mounjaro script and find there is a manufacturing shortage. It is not clear if the shortage will be relieved by the end of this week (Fri 3/22/24) for the 7.5 mg dose. I am told it is a nationwide shortage. Is this true? Information at Lilly.com appears spotty at best. Why is this occurring? Why hasn't Li...

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 ...

I have been on Mounjaro about 4 months. I've moved from 2.5 to 10mg per week. The first 3 days my glucose level is great. Days 4-7 bg increases daily and I have use Soliqua for those days, to help lower. I am losing weight (15 lbs). My question is does anyone else have issues with Mounjaro lasting a week? ## How long have you been taking the current dose? Mounjaro may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, hypoglycemia, and diarrhea. Ref: Mounjaro Information They do say that the initial starting dose is not intended to help with blood sugar control, you should experience better control once your dosage is raised.
