What are the common side effects of Mounjaro?
The most common side effects of Mounjaro affect your stomach and digestion. Since the medicine influences the same hormones that control how your food moves through your body, many people experience:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Stomach cramping
- Constipation
- Heartburn
- Not feeling as hungry
- Feeling tired
However, these side effects subside within a few days as your body adjusts to tirzepatide. But if you think something is bothering you, you can see our virtual doctors in Canada for immediate advice.

If Mounjaro is appropriate for you, our providers will issue a refill instantly and send it to your nearest pharmacy. Start your treatment plan now.
Can I get Mounjaro in Canada?
Yes, you can get a prescription for the Mounjaro pen in Canada if a doctor prescribes it. Because it’s a prescription medication, a licensed doctor or nurse practitioner has to review your health history before prescribing it to minimize the risk of side effects. Here are a few things to remember:
- Your primary care provider can use tirzepatide on its own or with other diabetes medications, depending on what you need.
- Insurance coverage can vary. Some provincial plans and private insurers may cover your treatment plan, while others may still be reviewing it.

Frequently asked questions
How does Mounjaro work?
Mounjaro’s active ingredient, tirzepatide, is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide binds to two natural hormone receptors in blood sugar regulation. By activating these receptors, Mounjaro increases insulin, suppresses glucagon, and delays stomach emptying to bring glucose spikes down and reduce appetite. Clinical trials indicate that Mounjaro can lead to more than 2% reduction of HbA1C levels in diabetes patients.
When was Mounjaro medication approved in Canada?
Mounjaro was approved in late 2022 by Health Canada for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The official regulatory decision was issued on November 24, 2022, after reviewing the results of the SURPASS phase 3 clinical trials.
How much does Mounjaro cost in Canada?
The cost of Mounjaro in Canada varies depending on your prescribed dose, the pharmacy you use, and your location. On average, a one-month supply (four weekly injections) costs between $400 and $530 without insurance.
Do I need to follow a special diet while on Mounjaro?
Yes. Mounjaro is most effective as part of a comprehensive diabetes treatment plan that includes dietary changes. Avoid fried food and high-fat meals, as they can worsen nausea. Instead, relying more on lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains can help you achieve faster results in terms of controlling fluctuating glucose levels and curbing appetite.
What to do if I miss taking my regular dose of Mounjaro?
The best course of action in case you miss your weekly dose of tirzepatide medication depends on how many days have passed. For instance,
- ≤ 4 days since missed dose: Take the missed dose as soon as you remember
- > 4 days since the missed dose: Skip the missed dose and wait for your next one.
You can also consult our online provider to understand what you should do.
Can I take Mounjaro if I don’t have diabetes (for weight loss)?
This is something you should talk about openly with your doctor. Mounjaro is officially approved only for patients with type 2 diabetes. Some healthcare providers and clinics may prescribe this tirzepatide medication off-label for weight loss in people with obesity, but Health Canada does not recommend this use.
What is the newest weight-loss drug in Canada?
The newest weight-loss medication approved in Canada is Wegovy (semaglutide) by Novo Nordisk, which became available in May 2024. Other similar drugs for chronic weight management include Zepbound (tirzepatide) and Saxenda (liraglutide). See our online doctor to understand what weight loss medication can help you achieve your treatment goals.
Can I get Mounjaro (tirzepatide) from my GP?
Yes, you can. A licensed General Practitioner (GP) can prescribe Mounjaro if they determine it is the right treatment plan for your type 2 diabetes goals. However, accessing a GP for a new assessment or follow-up prescription is often challenging due to the severe family doctor shortage in Canada. Instead of waiting for a GP appointment, you can get an online prescription refill with discreet delivery from our telemedicine platform immediately.
