Mounjaro and Constipation UK – Why It Happens & What To Do
Introduction
If you are experiencing constipation on Mounjaro, you are not alone. Digestive slowing is a common effect of GLP-1 weight loss injections.
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works by slowing gastric emptying and reducing appetite. While this helps weight loss, it can also reduce bowel movement frequency in some patients.
Constipation is usually temporary and manageable with diet and hydration adjustments.
