[0:00] Is Mounjaro safe? The honest answer is that safety is a clinical judgement, not a yes or no.
[0:07] Mounjaro is the brand name for tirzepatide. Unlike a research chemical, it is a licensed medicine. The MHRA has assessed it, it carries a UK marketing authorisation, and it comes with an approved patient information leaflet. That places it in a regulated category.
[0:15] Licensed does not mean risk free. The patient information leaflet lists recognised side effects. Published trials most commonly report gastrointestinal effects such as nausea. There are documented cautions and groups for whom it is not suitable.
[0:23] This is why it is prescription only. A prescriber weighs the benefits against the risks for the individual. It should never be obtained without a prescription or from an unregulated source.
