As with any prescription medication, it's important to be aware of the impact it can have on other medical conditions you may be experiencing.

Fatty liver disease occurs when excess fat builds up in the liver. This condition can be caused by several factors, including obesity, high alcohol intake, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is especially common in people who are overweight or have diabetes.

The risks associated with fatty liver disease are significant. If left untreated, it can progress to more severe liver conditions such as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), liver fibrosis, and cirrhosis, which can lead to liver failure or liver cancer. Fatty liver disease is often asymptomatic in its early stages, making regular health check-ups important for early detection and management.

Mounjaro, a medication primarily used for weight loss, can be beneficial for individuals with fatty liver disease. By promoting weight loss, Mounjaro helps reduce the amount of fat stored in the liver. This weight reduction can improve liver function and decrease the progression of fatty liver disease. Mounjaro works by reducing appetite and increasing feelings of fullness, making it easier to achieve and maintain a healthier weight.

For those with fatty liver disease, incorporating Mounjaro into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise can significantly improve liver health.

It's always worth discussing your existing medical conditions with your regular GP before starting any new treatments, and our clinical team will assess your medical questionnaire and history to make sure you are suitable for the medication.
