Symptoms included malaise, myalgias, respiratory distress, somnolence, dizziness, changes in heart rate/rhythm, and abdominal pain. Laboratory abnormalities included elevated blood lactate levels, anion gap acidosis, increased lactate/pyruvate ratio; and metformin plasma levels generally >5 mcg/mL. In more than 20,000 patient-years exposure to metformin in clinical trials, there were no reports of lactic acidosis. Reported cases have occurred primarily in diabetic patients with significant renal insufficiency, including both intrinsic renal disease and renal hypoperfusion, often in the setting of multiple concomitant medical/surgical problems and multiple concomitant medications. Risk factors include renal impairment, concomitant use of certain drugs, age ≥65 years old, radiological studies with contrast, surgery and other procedures, hypoxic states, excessive alcohol intake, and hepatic impairment. Lactic acidosis is a medical emergency and requires immediate treatment in the hospital.

Please notify your doctor ASAP if you develop trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath. If you experience a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. Tell your healthcare provider about your medical history prior to taking Mounjaro®. Avoid alcohol while taking this medication. If you’re taking diabetes medications, please discuss this with your prescribing doctor before starting Mounjaro®, as your diabetes medications may need to be adjusted as you lose weight. Females of reproductive potential should use adequate contraception while taking this medication. It is advised to use a non-oral contraceptive method (instead of oral contraceptive) or, if using oral contraception- add a barrier method of contraception 4 weeks after initiation and 4 weeks after dose escalation. Do not take this medication if pregnant, trying to get pregnant or breastfeeding. If you plan to become pregnant, this medication needs to be stopped at least 2 months before trying. This medication may cause fetal harm. Notify your doctor if you have kidney, liver, or pancreas problems. Stop using Mounjaro® and call your healthcare provider immediately if you have severe stomach or abdomen pain that will not go away, with or without vomiting. 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; or very rapid heartbeat. Serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis and angioedema) have been reported. Discontinue Mounjaro® if suspected and promptly seek medical advice. WARNING Please contact your doctor ASAP and seek in-person care immediately if a side effect becomes problematic or you experience: * Severe nausea and/or vomiting resulting in dehydration- it is important to stay well hydrated and drink plenty of fluids while on this medication * Kidney problems/kidney failure - vomiting, nausea, diarrhea can cause dehydration and kidney issues and make kidney problems worse in individuals who have pre-existing kidney conditions; may sometimes lead to the need for hemodialysis * Thyroid C-Cell Tumor: Trouble swallowing, hoarseness, a lump or swelling in your neck, or shortness of breath (see black box warning below) * Pancreatitis: Severe pain in your abdomen or back that will not go away * Acute gallbladder disease - Pain in the middle or right upper stomach, fever, white parts of your eyes turn yellow or skin turns yellow, nausea/vomiting.
