Should I delay my Mounjaro dose after drinking more alcohol than usual?
Hi everyone, I’m due to take my first 5mg Mounjaro dose today and wanted to ask for some experiences/advice.
Due to being away on holiday I’ve been drinking more alcohol than I normally would recently. Last week I drank on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and this week I drank Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (roughly a bottle of wine on the days I drank).
I feel completely normal and have no pain/side effects. I’ve decided to stop drinking from now on because I obviously want to take my health seriously.
I’m particularly worried about pancreatitis and have contacted my pharmacist to ask whether I should take my dose today or wait a couple of days after being alcohol free.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? Did your doctor/pharmacist advise you to take your dose as scheduled or delay it?
I’m looking for experiences rather than medical advice , I’ll follow whatever my pharmacist recommends.
