Mounjaro® is a prescription drug approved by the FDA to treat type 2 diabetes. It is also widely used off-label as a weight loss medication. Mounjaro mimics two natural digestive hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) to control blood sugar levels and suppress appetite.
While many patients lose weight on Mounjaro, some have experienced dangerous gastrointestinal side effects not clearly disclosed on the warning label. These include:
Gastroparesis is a condition that impairs the stomach’s ability to empty its contents. In people taking Mounjaro, the drug’s effects on gastric emptying can result in food staying in the stomach too long. This can lead to dangerous symptoms such as:
Gastroparesis has no cure, and symptoms may persist even after stopping Mounjaro.
Gastroenteritis is inflammation of the stomach and intestines. While often caused by infection, medications like Mounjaro may also trigger it. Signs of gastroenteritis may include:
If left untreated, gastroenteritis can lead to dangerous complications, especially for older adults and those with weakened immune systems.
If you or a loved one has been injured due to the use of Mounjaro, don’t wait to seek legal help.
