1. Common side effects of tebuconazole
① Gastrointestinal discomfort (most common) incidence: up to 30%-40% of users may experience varying degrees of gastrointestinal reactions in the early stages, including:
• Nausea (most common): usually occurs at the beginning of medication or when the dose is increased, and most people adapt within a few weeks.
• Vomiting : May occur in some people, but is generally mild at low doses.
• Abdominal bloating and pain : The digestion process slows down because the drug delays stomach emptying.
• Diarrhea or constipation : Some users may experience changes in bowel habits.
② Decreased appetite and changes in taste
• Some users may experience a significant decrease in appetite , resulting in reduced food intake.
• Some people develop an aversion to foods high in fat or sugar , which can help control their eating, but can also lead to inadequate nutrient intake.
③ Hypoglycemia (mainly seen in diabetic patients)
• Patients with type 2 diabetes who take Mounjaro may be at risk of hypoglycemia (manifested as dizziness, fatigue, palpitations, sweating, etc.) if they use insulin or sulfonylurea hypoglycemic drugs at the same time.
④Injection site reaction
• Mild redness, itching, or pain may occur but is usually not serious and resolves on its own.
⑤ Rare but serious side effects (requires special attention)
⚠️ Acute pancreatitis : If you experience persistent, severe abdominal pain, seek medical attention immediately.
⚠️ Risk of thyroid tumors (no direct evidence, but does not apply to patients with a family history of medullary thyroid cancer).
💡 Gastrointestinal discomfort is the most common side effect of Mounjaro , but most patients can adapt within a few weeks. A small number of patients need to pay attention to the risk of hypoglycemia and pancreatitis.
2. How to reduce the impact of side effects?
①Gradually increase the dose to give the body time to adapt
• The recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once a week, then increased to 5 mg after 4 weeks.
• If the side effects are obvious, the low-dose usage time can be extended and then gradually increased.
②Adjust diet to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort
✅ Avoid greasy, spicy, and high-sugar foods to reduce gastrointestinal irritation.
✅ Eat small meals frequently, and control each meal to be 60% to 70 % full to avoid excessive pressure on the stomach.
✅ Increase protein and dietary fiber intake , improve digestion and reduce constipation.
✅ Avoid carbonated drinks and alcohol to reduce bloating.
③ Ways to reduce nausea and vomiting
✅ Take the medicine after dinner and avoid taking it on an empty stomach.
✅ Keep your upper body upright for at least 30 minutes after eating to reduce reflux of stomach contents.
✅ Drink warm water or ginger tea to relieve nausea.
④Prevent hypoglycemia (diabetic patients)
✅ If you use hypoglycemic drugs (such as insulin, sulfonylureas) at the same time, you need to communicate with your doctor to adjust the dosage.
✅ Carry a small amount of carbohydrates (such as glucose tablets, candy) with you to prevent sudden hypoglycemia.
⑤Monitoring weight and nutritional status
✅ If your appetite decreases too much, leading to rapid weight loss or malnutrition, you should appropriately increase your intake of high-quality protein and healthy fats.
✅ You can take a multivitamin to supplement the necessary micronutrients.
Reasonable adjustment of dosage and diet can greatly reduce the side effects of Mounjaro , making it easier for patients to adapt to and adhere to its use.
