Exploring the Benefits and Risks of Weight-Loss Jabs Like Ozempic

The death of a Scottish nurse after using the weight-loss drug tirzepatide, known as Mounjaro, has raised concerns about the safety of GLP-1 injections, which are increasingly used for obesity treatment. While generally considered safe, these drugs can cause severe side effects like pancreatitis, especially in individuals with certain risk factors such as obesity, diabetes, or a history of alcohol use. Experts advise careful monitoring and caution against purchasing these drugs from online pharmacies, which may not provide adequate medical oversight. Proper diet and medical supervision are crucial for minimizing risks.

Eli Lilly Takes Legal Action to Stop Fake Mounjaro Imports

Eli Lilly has filed a lawsuit against 11 online pharmacies, including companies from the US, UK, Spain, China, and Poland, to prevent the import, sale, and distribution of counterfeit products claiming to contain the active ingredient in its diabetes drug Mounjaro. The lawsuit, which will be taken to the US International Trade Commission, accuses the online pharmacies of trademark infringement, false association with Lilly, and making misleading statements. Testing revealed that one of the products purported to contain the main ingredient of Mounjaro was actually "nothing more than sugar alcohol." Eli Lilly is the only company with FDA approval to sell tirzepatide products.

Readers Share Their Experiences with Weight-Loss Injections

Readers have shared their experiences of using weight-loss jabs, including liraglutide and semaglutide, which have been the subject of extensive media coverage. While some have reported significant weight loss and renewed energy, others have experienced side-effects such as nausea, reflux, and diarrhoea. Concerns have also been raised about the cost of private prescriptions and lack of support for those buying the drugs online. Experts have noted the jabs are exciting, but there is the worry that lost weight may be regained when the jabs are stopped and that the drugs do not tackle the root cause of obesity.
