Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro is actively investigating legal claims involving Mounjaro (tirzepatide), a diabetes medication produced by Eli Lilly. As Mounjaro grows in popularity, reports of severe gastrointestinal side effects are also rising — putting thousands of patients at risk.
If you or a loved one developed serious digestive issues after using Mounjaro, you may be eligible to pursue compensation through a lawsuit.
Approved by the FDA in 2022, Mounjaro is a once-weekly injection used to control blood sugar levels in adults with Type 2 diabetes. It is also increasingly prescribed “off-label” for weight loss, although it is not officially approved for that purpose.
Like other GLP-1 receptor agonists (including Ozempic and Wegovy), Mounjaro slows digestion. But for some users, this slowdown can become dangerously severe.
