A woman is speaking out about the severe side effects she experienced after taking the weight-loss medication Mounjaro. Zari, who lost four stone, claims the medication has caused numerous hospital stays and persistent health issues. She was diagnosed with gastritis, an inflammation of the stomach lining.
Zari says the medication has "ruined a part of me" and that she now suffers from debilitating pain. Gastritis can cause discomfort, nausea, and other digestive issues.
Dr. Tom Curtis explains that gastrointestinal issues are the most common side effects of Mounjaro. While the patient's experience is severe, it falls within the known risk profile of the drug. Common side effects include nausea and diarrhea, but more serious issues like low blood sugar and pancreatitis are also possible. Concerns exist about people obtaining the medication without medical need, potentially leading to complications. The pharmaceutical company encourages patients to consult their doctor about side effects.

This is so scary! I can't believe a weight loss drug could cause so much harm.

This lady’s story is unfortunate, but it doesn’t mean the drug is entirely bad.

Four stone isn't worth ruining your health. My heart goes out to Zari.

It is too early to claim all the adverse side effects. More research is needed.

It sounds like Zari didn't have proper medical supervision. Doctor consultation is KEY.
