| Eli Lilly to Market Blockbuster Weight Loss Drug |
| 2023-04-04 |
| [WSJ] The drug Mounjaro helped a typical person with obesity who weighed 230 pounds lose up to 50 pounds during a test period of nearly 17 months. No anti-obesity drug has ever safely made such a difference. In the coming months, it is widely expected to get the go-ahead from U.S. health regulators to be prescribed for losing weight and keeping it off, and some patients are already using it unapproved for that purpose. The advance of Mounjaro, which is already on the market to treat Type 2 diabetes, has excited doctors and patients who have been waiting decades for effective treatments, while helping turn its maker, Eli Lilly & Co., into the most valuable standalone pharmaceutical company in the U.S. with a market value of more than $300 billion. |

| #5 #3 The most common side effects of Mounjaro include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, constipation, indigestion, and stomach (abdominal) pain. These are not all the possible side effects of Mounjaro. Sounds like you'd want to eat less. mounjaro.com Posted by: Bobby 2023-04-04 08:47 Bobby, FWIW I'm on Mountjaro for Type II diabetes. Appetite really hasn't gone down, but's it's been easier to stay on my diet. I have lost an extra 5-7 lbs, which has been nice. As far as the nausea - sometimes, within about 12-18 hours afterwards, my stomach is unsettled for a few minutes then it goes away. Other than that, no other side effects. This has worked better for me than anything else I've been on, so far. Mike |

| #4 Interesting footnote: Eli Lilly was the commander of a Union artillery battery in the Civil War. He and his battery were nearly captured and Eli almost killed in a battle in east Tennessee called the Battle of Mossy Creek. After Getysburg Longstreet's Corps was sent to Chatanooga and after that battle in September of 1863 his corps was ordered back to Virginia. The battle occurred in January of 1864. Mossy Creek is now called Jefferson City.The temperature after the battle fell to -20 degrees. |

| #1 Eli Lilly, a company that cut the red tape, and safety measures, to fast track drugs. I'm sure this is perfectly safe. |
