Fake Tirzepatide Lawsuits Filed by Lilly; WHO Adds Its Own Warnings
The war against fake GLP-1 inhibitors is heating up, with Eli Lilly filing six suits against med spas and wellness centers selling unapproved versions of its patented tirzepatides — Mounjaro and Zepbound — with WHO also issuing an alert on the problem.
