Mounjaro may cause tumors in the thyroid, including thyroid cancer. Watch for possible symptoms, such as a lump or swelling in the neck, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, or shortness of breath. If you have a symptom, tell your healthcare provider. Do not use Mounjaro if you or any of your family have ever had a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC). Do not use Mounjaro if you have Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). Do not use Mounjaro if you are allergic to tirzepatide or any of the ingredients in Mounjaro.

Mounjaro may cause serious side effects, including:

Inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis). Stop using Mounjaro and call your healthcare provider right away if you have severe pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that will not go away, with or without vomiting. You may feel the pain from your abdomen to your back. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your risk for getting low blood sugar may be higher if you use Mounjaro with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar, such as a sulfonylurea or insulin. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include dizziness or light-headedness, sweating, confusion or drowsiness, headache, blurred vision, slurred speech, shakiness, fast heartbeat, anxiety, irritability, or mood changes, hunger, weakness and feeling jittery. Serious allergic reactions. Stop using Mounjaro and get medical help right away if you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including swelling of your face, lips, tongue or throat, problems breathing or swallowing, severe rash or itching, fainting or feeling dizzy, and very rapid heartbeat. Kidney problems (kidney failure). In people who have kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting may cause a loss of fluids (dehydration), which may cause kidney problems to get worse. It is important for you to drink fluids to help reduce your chance of dehydration. Severe stomach problems. Stomach problems, sometimes severe, have been reported in people who use Mounjaro. Tell your healthcare provider if you have stomach problems that are severe or will not go away. Changes in vision.

Which gut bacteria cause weight loss?

In fact, some prior evidence points to a particular gut bacteria, Prevotella, helping weight loss. "In our study," Gibbons says, "we found that some of the fastest-growing microbes in the weight-loss responder group were from the genus Prevotella."

Sept. 17, 2021 -- If you have a gut feeling something is preventing you from losing as much weight as you would like to, you could be right. Researchers found that the gut microbiome — the bacteria that help digest food and absorb nutrients in the intestines — can influence your ability to lose weight. They identified genes within these bacteria that determine how quickly the bacteria grow, how well people can take advantage of nutrients in food, and whether starches and fiber, in particular, get broken down into sugars too quickly to aid weight loss. "Some people have a harder time losing weight than others," study author Sean Gibbons, PhD, says. "For example, some people are able to control their weight through basic lifestyle interventions, while others may not." Also, it is difficult to predict who will respond to changes in diet or exercise and who might require more intense strategies. The study, which was published online Sept. 14 in mSystems, a journal of the American Society for Microbiology, could bring us closer to an answer. "We've identified specific genetic signatures in the gut microbiome that were predictive of weight loss response in a small cohort of patients following a healthy lifestyle intervention," says Gibbons, assistant professor at the Institute for Systems Biology in Seattle.
