Risk of Thyroid C-cell Tumors: Counsel patients regarding the potential risk for MTC with the use of Mounjaro and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors (e.g., a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness). Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients treated with Mounjaro. Such monitoring may increase the risk of unnecessary procedures, due to the low test specificity for serum calcitonin and a high background incidence of thyroid disease. Significantly elevated serum calcitonin values may indicate MTC and patients with MTC usually have calcitonin values >50 ng/L. If serum calcitonin is measured and found to be elevated, the patient should be further evaluated. Patients with thyroid nodules noted on physical examination or neck imaging should also be further evaluated.

Acute Kidney Injury: Mounjaro has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, which include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These events may lead to dehydration, which if severe could cause acute kidney injury. In patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, there have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic renal failure, sometimes requiring hemodialysis. Some of these events have been reported in patients without known underlying renal disease. A majority of reported events occurred in patients who had experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Monitor renal function when initiating or escalating doses of Mounjaro in patients with renal impairment reporting severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions.
Severe Gastrointestinal Disease: Use of Mounjaro has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. Mounjaro has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe gastroparesis, and is therefore not recommended in these patients.
Mounjaro vs Ozempic (+ metformin) Study Design
- SURPASS-2 was a 40-week, open-label (double-blind with respect to Mounjaro dose assignment), active-controlled, phase 3 trial that randomized 1879 adult patients with T2D who had inadequate glycemic control on stable doses of metformin alone to receive once-weekly SC Mounjaro 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg or once-weekly SC Ozempic® 1 mg (1:1:1:1 ratio), all in combination with metformin ≥1500 mg per day1,3
- The primary objective was to demonstrate noninferiority of Mounjaro 10 mg and/or 15 mg in Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C at 40 weeks3
- The key secondary objectives were assessed at 40 weeks: noninferiority of Mounjaro 5 mg to Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C; superiority of Mounjaro to Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C; superiority of proportion of patients with A1C <7%; superiority in mean change from baseline in weight; superiority of Mounjaro 10 mg and/or 15 mg to Ozempic in proportion of patients with A1C <5.7%3
- Study participants had a mean baseline A1C of 8.3% and a mean T2D duration of 8.6 years1,3

Severe Gastrointestinal Disease: Use of Mounjaro has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe. Mounjaro has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe gastroparesis, and is therefore not recommended in these patients.
Drug Interactions: When initiating Mounjaro, consider reducing the dose of concomitantly administered insulin secretagogues (such as sulfonylureas) or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia. Mounjaro delays gastric emptying, and thereby has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications, so caution should be exercised.

Lactation: There are no data on the presence of tirzepatide in human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother's clinical need for Mounjaro and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from Mounjaro or from the underlying maternal condition.
Mounjaro vs Ozempic (+ metformin) Study Design
- SURPASS-2 was a 40-week, open-label (double-blind with respect to Mounjaro dose assignment), active-controlled, phase 3 trial that randomized 1879 adult patients with T2D who had inadequate glycemic control on stable doses of metformin alone to receive once-weekly SC Mounjaro 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg or once-weekly SC Ozempic 1 mg (1:1:1:1 ratio), all in combination with metformin ≥1500 mg per day1,3
- The primary objective was to demonstrate noninferiority of Mounjaro 10 mg and/or 15 mg in Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C at 40 weeks3
- The key secondary objectives were assessed at 40 weeks: noninferiority of Mounjaro 5 mg to Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C; superiority of Mounjaro to Ozempic in mean change from baseline in A1C; superiority of proportion of patients with A1C <7%; superiority in mean change from baseline in weight; superiority of Mounjaro 10 mg and/or 15 mg to Ozempic in proportion of patients with A1C <5.7%33
- Study participants had a mean baseline A1C of 8.3% and a mean T2D duration of 8.6 years1,3

Select Important Safety Information
Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin: Concomitant use with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may increase the risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia. The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by reducing the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered insulin secretagogue) or insulin. Inform patients using these concomitant medications of the risk of hypoglycemia and educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
