Weight Loss Jab Mounjaro Linked to Death of NHS Nurse
The weight loss drug Mounjaro has been linked to the death of a 58 year-old NHS nurse after she suffered multiple organ failure – the first U.K. fatality attributed to the jab. The Telegraph has more.
Susan McGowan, 58, died on September 4th and had recently taken two doses of the weight loss jab Mounjaro.
The drug, also known as tirzepatide, is the same type of medication as Ozempic and Wegovy and is licensed for use as a weight loss tool in the U.K.
It has earned the nickname “King Kong jab” because it has previously been shown to be the most powerful of the weight loss treatments.
Ms. McGowan reportedly had purchased the medication from an online pharmacy, where a four-week regimen often costs between £150 and £250.
It is thought to be the first death in the U.K. linked to the medication.
Her cause of death is listed as multiple organ failure, septic shock and pancreatitis and “the use of prescribed tirzepatide” is recorded as a contributing factor, according to the BBC.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) tracks side effects of medicines via its self-reporting Yellow Card scheme which has 208 listed side-effects for the medication between January and May 2024, the most recent data available.
This includes 34 serious adverse effects and one suspected death of a man in his 60s.
Yellow Card data show the one death reported owing to Mounjaro was a “sudden death”.
There was only side-effect affecting the kidneys, with one non-fatal instance of a renal failure or impairment. More than half of all side-effects are related to gastrointestinal issues.
Ms. McGowan is thought to have experienced severe stomach pains the day after her second self-administered dose and attended A&E at the Monklands hospital in Lanarkshire where she worked.
Her niece, Jade Campbell, who was with her when she died, told the BBC: “Susan had always carried a wee bit of extra weight but there were never any health concerns.
“She wasn’t on any other medication. She was healthy. Susan was such a bubbly person. She was really generous, she was really kind and she was the life of the party – a huge personality. They said she had the biggest laugh in the hospital.”
Ms. McGowan is thought to have developed impaired kidney function and went into a coma a few days later as her organs failed.

There has also been concerns with Ozempic because the associated weight loss is also accompanied by a dramatic drop in muscle mass with implications for a weakening of heart muscles.
Dr. Joseph Mercola’s recent article on this site offered a natural alternative with the same weight loss benefits via reduced cravings, but without the harmful potential side effects of such drugs. Here’s the link to that article:
