Mounjaro pancreatitis

 I would like to know if anyone else took mounjaro and developed Pancreatitis. And also as I I still get twinges. Can you get pancreatic cancer from Pancreatitis?

  • Hi,

    I'm not a nurse but I've been a cancer patient for many years. I just wanted to share my experience whilst you wait for the nurses to come back tomorrow & answer your question.

    I have no experience of mounjaro I'm afraid but I have had acute pancreatitis - it was caused by an endoscopy to remove a stone stuck in my bile duct (it happens to 2% of patients). I was told that the chance of getting pancreatic cancer after having acute pancreatitis is not common - it's usually acute patients that progress to chronic pancreatitis that are more at risk. Have you been diagnosed with pancreatitis? My diagnosis was in December 2021 - it took me a year to recover & I still get the odd twinge.
