After losing more than half his body weight on Mounjaro, one man said the drug didn’t just take inches off his waist – it added them to an unexpected body part, making him “three inches” longer.
Drugs like Mounjaro, Ozempic, and Wegovy have exploded in popularity over the past year, thanks to their dramatic impact on weight loss. Originally developed to treat type 2 diabetes, these GLP-1 medications were quickly adopted off-label as appetite suppressants, helping users shed pounds rapidly.
But as use becomes more widespread, so do reports of bizarre and intimate side effects – some of which are now sparking intense curiosity and controversy online.
Mounjaro, a brand name for tirzepatide, mimics hormones in the gut that regulate blood sugar and appetite. By slowing digestion and signaling feelings of fullness to the brain, it helps people eat less and lose weight more quickly.
