Mounjaro and radiotherapy

I’m trying to find out whether I can still carry on having my mounjaro whilst having my radio therapy, I have been advised not to take my injection one week before the operation on the 1st September but not if I can take it as soon as op is done, what are your thoughts on this please Tess

  • Hello Tess and thanks for your post

    Weight loss medication such as Mounjaro isn’t usually recommended during cancer treatment, as it’s not yet known how it may interact with treatment. Mounjaro can cause nausea and weight loss, including muscle mass that may make it harder to cope with during cancer treatment

    We would always advise that you check with your cancer team about this and see what they advise.

    I hope this is of some use. Give us a ring if you would like to talk anything over. The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Kind regards,

    Celene
