Eli Lilly Lawsuit for Tirzepatide in Mounjaro & Zepbound
Manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company, both Mounjaro and Zepbound contain the active ingredient tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is similar to semaglutide, which is used in medications like Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy to help with weight loss.
These medications can help patients feel fuller longer by slowing stomach emptying. However, some Mounjaro users have reported serious side effects like stomach paralysis (gastroparesis), which may occur when the medication activates GLP-1 receptors and disrupts the normal functioning of the digestive system.
In one study, up to 50% of patients experienced gastrointestinal issues and other adverse effects after taking a 15-mg dose of tirzepatide.
Many families have filed lawsuits against the makers of these GLP-1 weight loss drugs, claiming that pharmaceutical companies failed to adequately warn them about all of the potential risks.
