Lilly warns of unknown safety risks in tirzepatide-B12 compounded drugs

Eli Lilly issued a public warning about potential patient safety risks from compounded tirzepatide mixed with vitamin B12, including a newly identified impurity with unknown short- and long-term effects. The company says these compounded tirzepatide-B12 products lack safety monitoring and adverse-event reporting, has alerted the FDA, and urges patients to discuss alternatives with their physicians. Lilly also cautions about broader safety issues and contaminants in other unregulated tirzepatide knockoffs and calls for regulator action to curb mass compounding in favor of FDA-approved therapies like Mounjaro and Zepbound.

Persistent Itching Emerges as GLP-1 Weight-Loss Drugs Gain Popularity

GLP-1 weight‑loss drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro are being linked to a new side effect: persistent itching that can disrupt sleep. While mild, local skin reactions at injection sites are common, widespread itching may signal sensitivity and could lead patients to pause or stop treatment and seek medical advice.

Lilly Launches Employer Connect to Expand Employer Coverage for Obesity Drugs

Eli Lilly unveils Employer Connect to help employers cover obesity medicines by connecting them with 15+ program administrators and offering a net price of $449 per month for a new Zepbound dose, aiming to lower employee out-of-pocket costs while giving employers design flexibility and price visibility; the move comes as Medicare coverage for these drugs is set to expand later this year and some firms may opt in gradually.

Glp-1 weight-loss jab reverses fatty liver and eases back pain, patient credits 'food-noise' relief

A Daily Mail Health feature follows Karen Holman, who used GLP-1 medications Ozempic and then Mounjaro via telehealth weight-loss program Mosh to combat trauma-driven overeating. She shed about 12 kg in four months, and blood tests showed her fatty liver reversing with liver markers returning to normal. Now weighing roughly 58–60 kg, she reports major relief from lifelong back pain and renewed energy. Medical experts explain GLP-1 meds curb appetite by slowing stomach emptying and altering brain hunger signals, and emphasize better outcomes when combined with structured lifestyle support. The piece also notes ongoing public debate about these medications and the role of behavioral/trauma-informed care in sustainable weight loss.

Mounjaro access in England still a postcode lottery, patient says

Brian Kinsella, who has privately used Mounjaro since December 2024, says he has lost more than 44.5 kg (seven stone) at up to £1,000 a year, highlighting uneven access as England’s NHS rolls out weight‑loss drugs. GPs are to receive £3,000 annually to prescribe these treatments, but since a limited NHS rollout began in June last year not all practices prescribe them. Kinsella expects the new incentives won’t help much due to workload and the system’s complexity, noting the requirement for two 85‑minute consultations, a 20‑minute follow‑up every four weeks, and a 60‑minute dietitian appointment. He calls the situation a “postcode lottery” and says a mechanism is needed to widen access to this drug.

England GPs offered £3,000 annual bonus to steer weight‑loss drug prescriptions

England’s health strategy will pay GPs £3,000 a year plus about £1,000 for referring patients to weight‑loss programmes to increase NHS prescriptions of the drug Mounjaro; Wegovy remains prescribed only through NHS weight‑loss services. Access to these drugs on the NHS remains tightly restricted (BMI thresholds and health conditions), with rollout described as patchy. Experts say the incentives may help access but won’t widen eligibility, and concerns about workload and realistic patient eligibility persist as the NHS aims to shift toward prevention and reach an expected 220,000 Mounjaro users by 2028.

Weight-Loss Drugs Getting Cheaper, Doctors Explain Who Qualifies

After Aishwarya Mohanraj’s Mounjaro confession, Soha Ali Khan discusses price with doctors: lower doses around Rs 12,000 per month (recently down to about Rs 10,000), higher doses about Rs 20,000–22,000, with overall monthly costs roughly Rs 12,000–20,000; prices are expected to fall as more companies produce them, but not everyone qualifies—BMI thresholds and co-morbid conditions determine eligibility, and medical supervision is essential due to side effects.

Mounjaro reverses liver fibrosis in fatty liver disease, doctors report

Two women with advanced fatty liver disease and fibrosis reportedly saw reversal of liver damage after using Mounjaro, a GLP-1 weight-loss drug. The case adds to growing evidence that treating obesity-related liver disease can reverse scar tissue, but NHS approval is still pending and access remains costly, underscoring the need for more research.

Rare gigantomastia keeps fueling breast growth despite weight loss

Tianna Moon, a 30-year-old from East Anglia, says her 34NN breasts keep growing due to gigantomastia—a rare condition—after shedding weight on the drug Mounjaro; diagnosed in 2025, she struggles to find bras, experiences back and rib pain, and has had a private gastric sleeve to ease pain. Now at 14 stone, she considers reduction surgery while earning around £10,000 a month on OnlyFans, and she faces online skepticism about her diagnosis.

Lilly Surges on GLP-1 Demand, Sets 2026 Revenue Outlook

Eli Lilly beat Q4 estimates with adjusted EPS of $7.54 and revenue of $19.29B (up 43%), and issued 2026 guidance of $80-83B in revenue and $33.50-35 in EPS, powered by robust GLP-1 demand for Zepbound and Mounjaro. U.S. sales reached $12.9B with volume up about 50% while prices moderated. Lilly faces competition from Novo Nordisk and highlighted pricing steps under a 2026 deal with Medicare/Medicaid and a direct-to-consumer TrumpRx platform, with most pricing moves expected early in 2026 and volume growth ramping in the second half. The company is also pursuing an oral weight-loss drug, orforglipron, later this year.

UK reports triple-digit rise in Mounjaro side effects in 2025, with 71 deaths

UK health chiefs recorded 40,245 adverse reactions to the diabetes/weight-loss jab Mounjaro in 2025 (6,755 serious; 71 deaths), a roughly 340% rise from 2024. Gastrointestinal disorders were the most common reaction (37,546 reports, 19 fatal). The NHS notes symptoms like nausea and diarrhea, while patients report severe side effects. Eli Lilly says safety is a priority and that risks are monitored. The MHRA updated product info to include a small risk of severe acute pancreatitis for Mounjaro (as well as Wegovy and Ozempic). Regulators stress benefits often outweigh risks, and urge patients to consult doctors about side effects. In the UK, around 1.6 million people are said to have used these lipids-lowering injections in the past year.

Weight loss on Mounjaro triggers gigantomastia as breasts swell to 34NN

A UK woman, Tianna Moon, shed five stone on the weight‑loss drug Mounjaro but developed gigantomastia, with breasts growing to 34NN and causing pain, scarring, and breathing difficulties. After a private gastric sleeve in November 2025, she’s pursuing breast reduction, though NHS criteria offer no guarantee the growth will stop. She has discussed the condition publicly and is reportedly earning up to £10,000 a month on OnlyFans.

UK warns of pancreatitis risk tied to Wegovy and Mounjaro GLP-1 drugs

UK regulators have strengthened warnings that rare but severe pancreatitis, including necrotizing cases, has been reported in users of GLP-1/GIP obesity and diabetes drugs Wegovy and Mounjaro. The MHRA cites about 1,300 reports from 2007–Oct 2025, including 19 deaths and 24 necrotizing pancreatitis, across roughly 25 million packs dispensed. Doctors are advised to monitor patients and patients with severe persistent abdominal pain should seek medical care; clinicians should check for drug use, especially if purchased privately. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly say the overall benefit-risk remains positive and safety is being monitored.
