Is Mounjaro Safe for Weight Loss with Low BMI and Vitamin Deficiencies?
Hello! I have gained quite a bit of weight after a saddlebag lipo last year. I'm currently 1.69cm and about 74/75kg. I eat well & exercise fairly often but can't seem to sake those kg off. I want to start taking Mounjaro but I know usually it is recommended to people with BMI over 30. Is it safe for me to take it? I have no medical conditions & my only health issues is low vitamin D, low folic acid & low B-12, which I'm taking supplements for. I tried Orlistat last year & didn't work so that's not an option. Thanks!

The usage of any drug for weight loss, for example, Mounjaro should be prescribed after consulting an experienced medical professional. While Mounjaro is usually given to those with a BMI over 30, it may be safe for the prescription for a doctor.
