When is 10mg typically prescribed?
The Mounjaro 10mg dose is “step 4” in the titration process.
After successfully adjusting to 7.5mg, your healthcare provider may decide to increase the dose to 10mg if you need further support to achieve your weight loss goals.
At this dose, many patients notice more dramatic reductions in hunger and enhanced fat loss. Mounjaro 10mg is often prescribed when weight loss plateaus at 7.5mg, or if the 7.5mg dose isn’t achieving the desired effect on appetite suppression and glucose regulation.
How much does Mounjaro 10mg cost?
A Mounjaro 10mg pen costs £209 (4 weeks).
That’s equivalent to £7.46/day.
If you’re new to Medicspot, you’ll save £50 on your first order.
What to expect when you start 10mg
Benefits include:
- Powerful appetite suppression – Hunger is significantly reduced, helping with portion control and overall food intake.
- Noticeable weight loss – 10mg often accelerates weight loss and helps push past any plateaus.
- Improved insulin sensitivity – This dose can have a significant positive impact on your blood sugar levels, especially for those with type 2 diabetes or insulin resistance.
Common side effects include:
- Increased nausea – As the dose rises, some patients report more pronounced nausea or stomach discomfort. This should subside after a week or two.
- Fatigue or lethargy – Some users feel more tired or low-energy as the dose increases.
- Gastrointestinal issues – Occasional bloating, constipation, or diarrhoea may occur as your body adjusts to the higher dose.
tip
To manage any nausea with the 10mg dose try eating small meals regularly, avoid greasy or spicy foods, and stay hydrated.
How your body is adapting at 10mg
At this stage:
- GLP-1 and GIP hormones are maximally activated, which results in better appetite control and improved blood sugar regulation.
- Slower gastric emptying means you’ll feel fuller for longer, and it may take longer for food to pass through your digestive system.
- Increased weight loss due to the enhanced appetite suppression
Patient experiences at 10mg
“just done first week on 10 and it’s been a good one”
“started 10mg and big decrease in appetite”
“stayed on 10mg as felt i was hardly easting or drinking much at all last 4 weeks and don’t want to lose too much weight too quickly”
Is it time to move to 10mg?
It might be time to ask your clinician about moving up to 7.5mg if:
- you’ve been on 7.5mg for at least 4 weeks
- your appetite suppression fades away before it’s time for your next jab
- your weight loss on 7.5mg has slowed or plateaued
- you are not experiencing any significant side effects
It might be time to ask your clinician about moving down to 10mg if:
- you’re experiencing significant side effects on 12.5mg
- you’re losing weight too fast on 12.5mg
- you have reached your healthy target weight and want to gradually reduce your dose
What not to do at 10mg
- Don’t ignore side effects – If you’re feeling overwhelmed by nausea or fatigue, reduce the dose and consult your clinician.
- Don’t skip meals – Even though your appetite might be suppressed, you still need to eat regularly to maintain your energy and metabolism.
- Don’t rush the process – If you’re seeing good progress at 10mg, don’t feel pressured to increase the dose unnecessarily. Give your body time to adjust.
tip
At 10mg, appetite suppression will be very strong. Plan your meals ahead of time to ensure you’re getting a well-balanced diet, even with a reduced appetite. Focus on high-protein meals and nutrient-dense foods to keep your body nourished.
