Mounjaro costs ₹3,500 for 2.5 mg and ₹4,375 for 5 mg; monthly doses range ₹14,000–₹17,500 depending on prescription strength.
Mounjaro is available only by prescription in India—weekly injections approved for diabetes and weight management.
Patients must consult a doctor to access Mounjaro; use depends on health history and suitability assessment.
The drug cannot be purchased over-the-counter. A valid prescription and follow-up care are mandatory for use.
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and reduced appetite are typical but often improve as the body adjusts to the medication.
Rare but severe side effects include pancreatitis, low blood sugar, and allergic reactions—urgent care is needed if they occur.
To ease stomach side effects, eat smaller meals, avoid greasy foods, and stay hydrated with clear liquids.
Regular doctor visits are essential to track progress, adjust doses, and handle any side effects effectively.
Despite lower pricing than in the U.S., Mounjaro remains costly in India—sparking a push for affordable generic alternatives.
