Explore Legal Options for Injuries Linked to Mounjaro Use

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.

What Is Mounjaro?

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.

Health Risks Linked to Mounjaro

Serious side effects associated with Mounjaro include:

FDA Warning: Potential Link Between Mounjaro and Thyroid Cancer

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a boxed warning for Mounjaro (tirzepatide), highlighting a possible connection to thyroid cancer. A boxed warning is the FDA’s most serious safety alert, used to inform healthcare providers and patients of significant potential risks.

Preclinical studies involving animals have shown that tirzepatide may increase the risk of developing certain thyroid cancers, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). While these findings are concerning, it’s important to note that results from animal studies do not always reflect what happens in humans. As of now, there is no conclusive evidence proving that Mounjaro causes thyroid cancer in people—but the risk cannot be ruled out.

If you or a loved one has taken Mounjaro and experienced symptoms such as:

  • A lump or swelling in the neck
  • Difficulty swallowing
  • Hoarseness
  • Shortness of breath

you should consult a doctor immediately. These symptoms could indicate thyroid abnormalities that may require further evaluation.


Why Are Patients Filing Lawsuits?

Legal claims against Eli Lilly allege that the company:

  • Failed to adequately warn users about the risk of gastroparesis and digestive injuries.
  • Promoted off-label uses for weight loss without sufficient safety research.
  • Misled consumers by downplaying the seriousness of side effects.

Both individual lawsuits and class action lawsuits are being organized as more patients step forward.
