What Happens When You Stop Taking Mounjaro? Experts Explain What To Expect
Weight loss hacks always seem to be trending, but prescription, injectable medications, like Mounjaro, are changing the game when it comes to helping people shed significant pounds. Most of the news focuses on what happens when you start taking Mounjaro, but what happens when you stop?
First, the basics: Mounjaro is an injectable medication prescribed to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, says Jihad Kudsi, MD, an obesity medicine specialist and bariatric surgeon. "It is not primarily intended as a weight loss medication, but it can have the added benefit of helping individuals shed excess weight," he explains. "It reduces appetite and enhances feelings of fullness, and this combination of effects leads to improved blood sugar management and can result in weight loss." The drug works similarly to Ozempic (more on that soon!) but affects the body in slightly different ways, he adds.
