Can Mounjaro (tirzepatide) cause body aches?

No, body aches are not a known side effect of Mounjaro®. Common side effects of Mounjaro are nausea, heartburn, stomach upset, constipation and diarrhea.

As there are various causes of body aches including, but not limited to, viral illnesses, other medications, overexertion, trauma, it is important to speak with your healthcare provider if you experience body aches while taking Mounjaro in order to determine the cause and how best to treat it.
