Anchetă după moartea unei femei de 73 de ani care urma un tratament pentru slăbit cu Mounjaro. Complicația care i-a fost fatală

An investigation in the UK is examining the death of a 73-year-old woman who was undergoing weight loss treatment with Mounjaro. She died shortly after being discharged from the hospital due to fecal peritonitis caused by intestinal perforation. Caroline Savage had been using the injectable medication for about four months and was advised to increase her dosage. Initially, doctors considered pancreatitis as a possible cause of her severe abdominal pain, but tests did not confirm this. After being sent home with pain management, she collapsed hours later and could not be revived. The autopsy found no direct link between her death and Mounjaro, although gastrointestinal side effects were discussed. The family believes the symptoms were too quickly attributed to the medication, and the investigation is ongoing to determine if there were any shortcomings in her care.
