My doctor recently suggested Monjaro for my diabetes, but my father has kidney problems, so I'm a bit worried. I want to understand if and how Monjaro might affect the kidneys. Is it generally safe for kidney health?

The drug itself doesn't directly damage the kidneys, but because it suppresses thirst and causes nausea, we might drink less water. Make sure to keep sipping coconut water or water throughout the day.

Mounjaro can cause severe vomiting and diarrhea, which leads to dehydration and can strain your kidneys. You must get your kidney function tests (KFT) done regularly while on this medication.

Blessings to you. Just trust the healing process but keep your body hydrated. Drinking pure water and keeping a peaceful mind helps the body flush out toxins naturally.

I was on it for six months. My creatinine levels went up slightly because I was barely drinking any fluids due to nausea. Once I started tracking my water intake, my kidney reports went back to normal.

At my age, we worry about kidney health a lot. My doctor assured me that as long as you do not get dehydrated from stomach side effects, this medication is generally safe for the kidneys.

Hey, don't stress too much! Just keep a big water bottle next to you and keep drinking. As long as you stay hydrated, your kidneys will be totally fine.

While the medication helps control blood sugar (which actually protects kidneys in the long run), acute kidney injury can happen if you get severely dehydrated. Always keep your doctor in the loop.
