EastEnders' Cheryl Fergison Says She’ll Likely Quit Mounjaro After Severe Side Effects

Her account links the prescription to a diabetes diagnosis, with clinicians escalating the dose.

Overview

  • Fergison says she lost about three stone as the jab suppressed her appetite, describing feeling full after a single slice of pizza in remarks on the Secure the Insecure podcast.
  • She reports severe gastrointestinal symptoms, including vomiting and diarrhoea, and says her hair has been coming out in clumps.
  • She says Mounjaro “doesn’t really agree” with her and that she will probably stop taking the medication.
  • She says doctors prescribed the drug following her diabetes diagnosis and later increased the dosage.
  • She adds that a stroke in May limited her ability to exercise during recovery at home in Blackpool, contributing to regaining around a stone.
