To determine if you are eligible for Mounjaro (Tirzepatide 2.5 mg), it is important to consider your specific health condition, especially if you have type 2 diabetes, as this medication is primarily used to improve blood sugar control in adults with this condition.

Key points to consider include:

• Diagnosis: Mounjaro is approved for adults with type 2 diabetes. It is not for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

• Current Medications and Health Status: Your doctor will review your current medications and any other health issues, such as pancreatitis, thyroid cancer history, or severe gastrointestinal problems, which may affect eligibility.

• Kidney and Liver Function: These are important to assess before starting Mounjaro.

• Potential Side Effects: Understanding the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider is essential.

I recommend discussing your full medical history and current health status with your doctor. They can evaluate your eligibility and decide if Mounjaro is appropriate for you based on your individual health needs and conditions.
