Can I take 15 and Mounjaro kwikpen together?

Why this happens

Mounjaro works by mimicking hormones that help your body manage blood sugar and slow down digestion. Alcohol can prevent your liver from releasing glucose into the bloodstream, leading to low blood sugar. Furthermore, both substances can irritate the digestive system and the pancreas.

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while using Mounjaro. If you do choose to drink, do so only in very small amounts and never on an empty stomach. Be sure to monitor your blood sugar levels more closely and be aware of the signs of low blood sugar, such as feeling shaky, sweaty, or dizzy. If you experience severe stomach pain, seek medical help immediately.
