Users of weight-loss jab tirzepatide, sold as Mounjaro, are complaining of the 'jaro jitters' as the weekly injections leave them feeling freezing cold.
READ MORE:It's been hailed as a 'miracle' fat-busting drug and a breakthrough in the war on obesity — but users of Mounjaro have revealed yet another unpleasant side effect.
One recent TikTok video posted by @katie.k1986, who has been taking the drug for just over a month, sees the social media user wrapped up in a fleece while telling followers she is 'so cold I could be in Greenland'.'I'm watching this video under an electric blanket,' said one, while another willed the menopause to begin to increase her body temperature.
Meanwhile user @nicinackinoo said: 'I am wearing a granny nighty, a dressing gown, a throw and another throw and socks and I am still shivering.' Professor Miras told MailOnline: 'When people reach their weight plateau, which is usually a year after starting the medication, they start burning more energy and are less likely to complain of feeling cold.'
'So, if people are experiencing this, it is likely due to the weight loss, rather than a specific effect of the medication used.' US pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, who makes the drug, said Mounjaro's side effects were most commonly reported when the dose was increased. The EMA has ruled that a monitoring study of patients taking the drug is required to explore the potential of a raised cancer risk in humans.That's because weight-loss injections don't target fat specifically, instead, triggering weight loss by affecting appetite.
