Can mounjaro be prescribed for weight loss?

Look, don't go looking for short-cuts with these heavy injections just to lose weight. It is actually a diabetes medicine. If you want to use it for weight loss, you must talk to an endocrinologist first, don't play with your hormones.

Mounjaro is getting very famous, but honestly, no injection can replace a solid caloric deficit and strength training. Even if a doc prescribes it, you have to maintain your diet and workout or you will gain all the weight back once you stop.

Actually, yes, FDA has approved the same molecule under a different brand name specifically for chronic weight management. But you need to track your protein and water intake closely on it. Talk to a doctor to see if you qualify based on your BMI.

My doctor told me about Mounjaro when we were discussing my obesity and prediabetes. It's expensive as hell and hard to get in India right now. Definitely not something you just take casually, you need a proper prescription and regular checkups.
