Are there any prerequisite tests for Mounjaro injections?

Yes, prerequisite tests are essential for safety. Your doctor needs baseline blood sugar, kidney function, liver function, and thyroid screening to ensure Mounjaro is safe for you and to monitor your progress.
Most blood test results are available within 24-48 hours. However, the complete process from consultation to receiving all results typically takes 1-2 weeks before you can start Mounjaro treatment.
If your tests are less than 3 months old and include the necessary parameters (HbA1c, kidney function, liver function, thyroid), your doctor may accept them. However, fresh baseline tests are generally preferred.
Abnormal results don't automatically disqualify you. Your doctor will assess the severity. Minor abnormalities may require monitoring or dose adjustments, while severe kidney, liver, or thyroid issues may make Mounjaro unsafe.
Tests can be done at major diagnostic labs or your clinic, such as Royal Cosmetic Surgery often has partnerships with labs for convenient testing. You don’t have to do tests yourself; the clinic will do them for you.
Yes, in addition to blood tests, your doctor will perform a physical examination, including weight, height, BMI calculation, blood pressure, and general health assessment, before prescribing Mounjaro.
