CONSTIPATION is a side effect of Mounjaro, particularly at the start or increasing doses. It occurs because the medication slows the process of gastric emptying. Why Mounjaro causes constipation: Slowed Digestion: Mounjaro slows down the movement of food through the digestive tract, allowing more time for water to be absorbed, which hardens stools. Reduced Intake: A significantly reduced appetite means less food and fibre intake, reducing the frequency of bowel movements. Deh
