Mounjaro and Thyroid Cancer

Mounjaro has a warning for the risk of thyroid cancer. A boxed warning is the most serious warning from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Using Mounjaro may increase your risk of developing thyroid cancer. Mounjaro caused thyroid cancer in animals given this drug in studies. But it’s not clear whether Mounjaro could cause thyroid cancer, such as medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), in humans.

Due to this risk, doctors will not prescribe Mounjaro if you or a family member has had MTC or a condition called multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2). This is a rare condition that causes thyroid tumors.

Mounjaro may not be right for you if you have certain medical conditions. (This is known as a drug-condition interaction.) Other factors may also affect whether this drug is a good treatment option for you.
