Mounjaro 10mg Injection

No. Unless you're continuing treatment from another provider and have followed the appropriate titration schedule. New patients must begin at 2.5mg and gradually increase to minimise side effects and allow the body to adjust safely.

If you've been on 7.5mg for at least four weeks and it's no longer providing adequate appetite control or weight loss—and you're experiencing minimal side effects—moving up to 10mg is typically the next step. Everyone responds differently, so if you're unsure, speak to a Voy clinician who can help guide you based on your experience so far.

No, it's not safe to skip doses. Mounjaro must be increased gradually:

2.5mg → 5mg → 7.5mg → 10mg to minimise side effects and support long-term tolerability.

Weight loss plateaus are common. It may help to review your diet and look for hidden calories with your health coach, as well as assess your activity levels. Some people also respond better to 12.5mg, but you may benefit from speaking to your clinician before increasing the dose.

Not necessarily. Aside from food, hunger can also be linked to habits, emotions, or even dehydration. Focus on protein-rich meals, practice mindful eating, and regular hydration.

If hunger continues, your clinician may consider a dose adjustment.

Prioritise protein, strength and resistance training, stress management, consistent sleep, and honest food and nutrition tracking.

Our coaches can help you create a tailored plan to support your goals.

Stay on 10mg for at least 4 weeks before considering an increase. Your clinician will evaluate whether it's time to step up based on your progress and side effect profile.

Most remain on 10mg for a minimum of 4 weeks. Many find it's an effective long-term dose, while others progress to 12.5mg or 15mg if needed. If you’re seeing great results for weight loss, and are managing the side effects well, it’s fine to stay on 10mg for as long as it continues to be effective.

Mounjaro is not recommended if you or a family member have a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or MEN 2. However, if you have an underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism) thyroid, Mounjaro is generally considered safe.

If you're taking medications like Levothyroxine, your thyroid levels may need extra monitoring when starting treatment. Always share your full medical history with your clinician.

It depends. Conditions like severe kidney disease, gastroparesis, or a history of pancreatitis require careful review. Your clinician will assess whether it's suitable for you.

Make sure you inform the clinical team of your full medical history and current medications so they can recommend the most appropriate treatment for you.

Certain foods can trigger side effects like nausea, loose stools, or stomach discomfort when you're on Mounjaro—especially during the first few days of treatment or after a dose increase. Common triggers include high-fat or rich meals, large portions, caffeine, alcohol, and dairy.

Not everyone will react the same way, so it's a good idea to stick to simple, plain foods at first, then gradually reintroduce other items to identify your personal triggers. These may change as your dose increases and your body adapts.

As for medications, always let your clinician know what you're taking. Mounjaro can affect how some oral medications are absorbed, so it’s important to review your full medication list before starting or adjusting your treatment.
