Alcohol consumption is associated with over 200 health conditions – it can be extremely dangerous, especially when abused. But is it even more dangerous when combined with Mounjaro?
If you’ve recently started taking Mounjaro and you’re wondering if you can enjoy a pint of lager on a Friday night, or a glass of wine with your evening meal, the good news is that yes – you can. However, there are some caveats to consider. Let’s explore the ins and outs of drinking alcohol on Mounjaro…
Mounjaro contains the active ingredient tirzepatide – and is the first in its class dual receptor agonist of GLP-1 and GIP. It is eligible for patients with:
You take this medication once a week via injection, into your abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. For more information, check out our helpful guide on how to take Mounjaro.
This medication is highly effective in aiding weight loss. In a clinical trial involving over 2500 patients with a BMI of 30 or higher (or 27 or higher with weight-related complications, excluding diabetes), 50% of patients on 10mg and 57% of patients on 15mg achieved 20% weight loss or more!
Mounjaro has full UK regulatory approval for managing weight. The length of time it takes to work can vary from person to person – it can take anything from 8 to 12 weeks to begin noticing results. Our patients at Dr Frank’s Weight Loss Clinic tend to lose up to 20% of their body weight in the first year when taking GLP-1 medications.
It’s no secret that alcohol can be dangerous, especially if not consumed in moderation. When taken with Mounjaro, there may be additional risks to consider such as increased side effects.
Increased Side Effects – Alcohol and Mounjaro share similar side effects, such as digestive issues, nausea and vomiting. Combining the two could increase these side effects.
Blood Sugar Control – Alcohol can impact blood sugar control, which can be dangerous if you’re taking Mounjaro to manage diabetes. Look out for signs of low blood sugar, such as shaking, sweatiness, hunger or dizziness – and signs of high blood sugar, such as blurred vision, feeling tired, or feeling thirsty. If you are experiencing these symptoms after drinking alcohol on Mounjaro, speak to a healthcare professional.
Dehydration – When you take Mounjaro, you are advised to stay hydrated to reduce the risk of kidney issues and headaches. Alcohol can lead to dehydration, which can increase the risk of these unpleasant side effects.
If you experience severe stomach pain, fever symptoms, yellowing of the eyes or skin, swelling of the face, tongue, throat or lips, or trouble breathing, stop taking the medication immediately and speak to a doctor as soon as possible.
