Yeah i just read about this she died of sepsis, pancreatitus and organ failure and diet injection contributed the coroner said. Its very sad she worked in hospital for 30 years as a nurse.

Mounjaro was not approved by the FDA for weight loss. It was approved for treating type 2 diabetes.

Pharma benefits when their drugs are used off-label. I’m not a fan of off-label use of drugs due to efficacy and safety concerns.

Thanks for scaring the bejeezus out of me @everhopeful! :joy:

No, overall, drugs like Mounjaro and Ozempic are safe to use when properly taken as prescribed

Other than some occasional diarrhea I find Mounjaro to be a very smooth medication to take.

Yeah, no kidding. She should not have been on that if she was not diabetic.
