Susan McGowan, a 58-year-old nurse from North Lanarkshire, passed away from multiple organ failure and pancreatitis shortly after taking the NHS-approved drug. Her death, which occurred on September 4, is the first in the UK officially linked to tirzepatide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tirzepatide, branded as Mounjaro, was initially developed for type 2 diabetes but was later approved for weight loss treatment. The drug works by mimicking hormones that signal fullness, helping users eat less. It costs between \u00a3150 and \u00a3200 for a four-week supply, making it an affordable option for those struggling with obesity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Susan\u2019s sudden decline after taking the drug highlights the potential risks. After her second low-dose injection, she experienced severe stomach pain and nausea, leading to her eventual organ failure. This incident has raised questions about the drug&#8217;s safety, particularly for those without diabetes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As tirzepatide continues to be prescribed for weight loss, patients are advised to consult healthcare providers, report any side effects, and undergo regular monitoring to ensure safety.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent tragedy in Scotland has raised concerns over the safety of the weight loss drug tirzepatide.
