This guide explains:
- When appetite changes begin

How Quickly Does Mounjaro Start Working?
Appetite regulation may begin within the first few weeks.
However:
- Visible weight loss is gradual
- Early weeks focus on tolerability
- Dose escalation influences results
For medication overview:
Week 1–4 (2.5mg Starter Phase)
During the first 4 weeks:
- Appetite reduction may begin
- Portion sizes may decrease
- Mild nausea may occur
- Weight loss may be modest
2.5mg is designed for tolerability, not maximum effect.
For starter dose details:
Week 5–8 (5mg Phase)
After escalation to 5mg:
- Appetite suppression often increases
- Calorie intake may reduce further
- Weight loss may become more noticeable
For dosing structure:
Weeks 9–16 (Dose Escalation Phase)
At higher doses (7.5mg–10mg):
- Appetite suppression may strengthen
- Cravings may reduce
- Weight loss may continue progressively
Dose increases are considered based on tolerability and response.
