FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION

WARNING: RISK OF THYROID C-CELL TUMORS

 In both male and female rats, tirzepatide causes dose-dependent and treatment-duration-dependent
thyroid C-cell tumors at clinically relevant exposures. It is unknown whether MOUNJARO causes thyroid
C-cell tumors, including medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans as human relevance of tirzepatide-
induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been determined [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1) and
Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)].
 MOUNJARO is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with
Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) [see Contraindications (4)]. Counsel patients
regarding the potential risk for MTC with the use of MOUNJARO and inform them of symptoms of thyroid
tumors (e.g., a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness). Routine monitoring of
serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in patients
treated with MOUNJARO [see Contraindications (4) and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].

1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE

MOUNJARO® is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes
mellitus.
Limitations of Use
 MOUNJARO has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
 MOUNJARO is not indicated for use in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus.

2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

2.1 Dosage
 The recommended starting dosage of MOUNJARO is 2.5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly. The 2.5 mg
dosage is for treatment initiation and is not intended for glycemic control.
 After 4 weeks, increase the dosage to 5 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly.
 If additional glycemic control is needed, increase the dosage in 2.5 mg increments after at least 4 weeks on the
current dose.
 The maximum dosage of MOUNJARO is 15 mg injected subcutaneously once weekly.
 If a dose is missed, instruct patients to administer MOUNJARO as soon as possible within 4 days (96 hours) after the
missed dose. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and administer the next dose on the regularly
scheduled day. In each case, patients can then resume their regular once weekly dosing schedule.
 3

 The day of weekly administration can be changed, if necessary, as long as the time between the two doses is at least
3 days (72 hours).
2.2 Important Administration Instructions
 Administer MOUNJARO once weekly, any time of day, with or without meals.
 Inject MOUNJARO subcutaneously in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
 Rotate injection sites with each dose.
 Inspect MOUNJARO visually before use. It should appear clear and colorless to slightly yellow. Do not use
MOUNJARO if particulate matter or discoloration is seen.
 When using MOUNJARO with insulin, administer as separate injections and never mix. It is acceptable to inject
MOUNJARO and insulin in the same body region, but the injections should not be adjacent to each other.

3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS

Injection: Clear, colorless to slightly yellow solution available in pre-filled single-dose pens of the following strengths:
 2.5 mg/0.5 mL
 5 mg/0.5 mL
 7.5 mg/0.5 mL
 10 mg/0.5 mL
 12.5 mg/0.5 mL
 15 mg/0.5 mL

4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
MOUNJARO is contraindicated in patients with:
 A personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or in patients with Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia
syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
 Known serious hypersensitivity to tirzepatide or any of the excipients in MOUNJARO. Serious hypersensitivity
reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, have been reported with MOUNJARO [see Warnings and
Precautions (5.4)].

5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

5.1 Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors
In both sexes of rats, tirzepatide caused a dose-dependent and treatment-duration-dependent increase in the incidence of
thyroid C-cell tumors (adenomas and carcinomas) in a 2-year study at clinically relevant plasma exposures [see
Nonclinical Toxicology (13.1)]. It is unknown whether MOUNJARO causes thyroid C-cell tumors, including medullary
thyroid carcinoma (MTC), in humans as human relevance of tirzepatide-induced rodent thyroid C-cell tumors has not been
determined.
MOUNJARO is contraindicated in patients with a personal or family history of MTC or in patients with MEN 2. Counsel
patients regarding the potential risk for MTC with the use of MOUNJARO and inform them of symptoms of thyroid tumors
(e.g., a mass in the neck, dysphagia, dyspnea, persistent hoarseness).
Routine monitoring of serum calcitonin or using thyroid ultrasound is of uncertain value for early detection of MTC in
patients treated with MOUNJARO. Such monitoring may increase the risk of unnecessary procedures, due to the low test
specificity for serum calcitonin and a high background incidence of thyroid disease. Significantly elevated serum calcitonin
values may indicate MTC and patients with MTC usually have calcitonin values >50 ng/L. If serum calcitonin is measured
and found to be elevated, the patient should be further evaluated. Patients with thyroid nodules noted on physical
examination or neck imaging should also be further evaluated.
5.2 Pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis, has been observed in patients
treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists.
In clinical studies, 14 events of acute pancreatitis were confirmed by adjudication in 13 MOUNJARO-treated patients (0.23
patients per 100 years of exposure) versus 3 events in 3 comparator-treated patients (0.11 patients per 100 years of
 4

exposure). MOUNJARO has not been studied in patients with a prior history of pancreatitis. It is unknown if patients with a
history of pancreatitis are at higher risk for development of pancreatitis on MOUNJARO.
After initiation of MOUNJARO, observe patients carefully for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis (including persistent
severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back and which may or may not be accompanied by vomiting). If
pancreatitis is suspected, discontinue MOUNJARO and initiate appropriate management.
5.3 Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin
Patients receiving MOUNJARO in combination with an insulin secretagogue (e.g., sulfonylurea) or insulin may have an
increased risk of hypoglycemia, including severe hypoglycemia [see Adverse Reactions (6.1), Drug Interactions (7.1)].
The risk of hypoglycemia may be lowered by a reduction in the dose of sulfonylurea (or other concomitantly administered
insulin secretagogue) or insulin. Inform patients using these concomitant medications of the risk of hypoglycemia and
educate them on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia.
5.4 Hypersensitivity Reactions
Serious hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis, angioedema) have been reported in patients treated with
MOUNJARO. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue use of MOUNJARO; treat promptly per standard of care, and
monitor until signs and symptoms resolve. Do not use in patients with a previous serious hypersensitivity reaction to
tirzepatide or any of the excipients in MOUNJARO [see Contraindications (4), Adverse Reactions (6.2)].
Anaphylaxis and angioedema have been reported with GLP-1 receptor agonists. Use caution in patients with a history of
angioedema or anaphylaxis with a GLP-1 receptor agonist because it is unknown whether such patients will be
predisposed to these reactions with MOUNJARO.
5.5 Acute Kidney Injury
MOUNJARO has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, which include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
[see Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. These events may lead to dehydration, which if severe could cause acute kidney injury.
In patients treated with GLP-1 receptor agonists, there have been postmarketing reports of acute kidney injury and
worsening of chronic renal failure, which may sometimes require hemodialysis. Some of these events have been reported
in patients without known underlying renal disease. A majority of the reported events occurred in patients who had
experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration. Monitor renal function when initiating or escalating doses of
MOUNJARO in patients with renal impairment reporting severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions.
5.6 Severe Gastrointestinal Disease
Use of MOUNJARO has been associated with gastrointestinal adverse reactions, sometimes severe [see Adverse
Reactions 6.1]. MOUNJARO has not been studied in patients with severe gastrointestinal disease, including severe
gastroparesis, and is therefore not recommended in these patients.
5.7 Diabetic Retinopathy Complications in Patients with a History of Diabetic Retinopathy
Rapid improvement in glucose control has been associated with a temporary worsening of diabetic retinopathy.
MOUNJARO has not been studied in patients with non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy requiring acute therapy,
proliferative diabetic retinopathy, or diabetic macular edema. Patients with a history of diabetic retinopathy should be
monitored for progression of diabetic retinopathy.
5.8 Acute Gallbladder Disease
Acute events of gallbladder disease such as cholelithiasis or cholecystitis have been reported in GLP-1 receptor agonist
trials and postmarketing.
In MOUNJARO placebo-controlled clinical trials, acute gallbladder disease (cholelithiasis, biliary colic, and
cholecystectomy) was reported by 0.6% of MOUNJARO-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients. If
cholelithiasis is suspected, gallbladder diagnostic studies and appropriate clinical follow-up are indicated.

6 ADVERSE REACTIONS

 Risk of Thyroid C-cell Tumors [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
 Pancreatitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
 Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
 5

 Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]

 Acute Kidney Injury [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
 Severe Gastrointestinal Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]

 Acute Gallbladder Disease [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)]
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials
of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed
in practice.
Pool of Two Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trials
The data in Table 1 are derived from 2 placebo-controlled trials [1 monotherapy trial (SURPASS-1) and 1 trial in
combination with basal insulin with or without metformin (SURPASS-5)] in adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus [see
Clinical Studies (14.2, 14.4)]. These data reflect exposure of 718 patients to MOUNJARO and a mean duration of
exposure to MOUNJARO of 36.6 weeks. The mean age of patients was 58 years, 4% were 75 years or older and 54%
were male. The population was 57% White, 27% Asian, 13% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 3% Black or African
American; 25% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, patients had type 2 diabetes mellitus for an average
of 9.1 years with a mean HbA1c of 8.1%. As assessed by baseline fundoscopic examination, 13% of the population had
retinopathy. At baseline, eGFR was ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 53%, 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 39%, 45 to
60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 7%, and 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 1% of patients.
Pool of Seven Controlled Clinical Trials
Adverse reactions were also evaluated in a larger pool of adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus participating in seven
controlled clinical trials which included two placebo-controlled trials (SURPASS-1 and -5), three trials of MOUNJARO in
combination with metformin, sulfonylureas, and/or SGLT2 Inhibitors (SURPASS-2, -3, -4) [see Clinical Studies (14.3)] and
two additional trials conducted in Japan. In this pool, a total of 5119 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were
treated with MOUNJARO for a mean duration of 48.1 weeks. The mean age of patients was 58 years, 4% were 75 years
or older and 58% were male. The population was 65% White, 24% Asian, 7% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 3%
Black or African American; 38% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. At baseline, patients had type 2 diabetes
mellitus for an average of 9.1 years with a mean HbA1c of 8.3%. As assessed by baseline fundoscopic examination, 15%
of the population had retinopathy. At baseline, eGFR was ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 52%, 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 40%,
45 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 6%, and 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 1% of patients.
Common Adverse Reactions
Table 1 shows common adverse reactions, not including hypoglycemia, associated with the use of MOUNJARO in the
pool of placebo-controlled trials. These adverse reactions occurred more commonly on MOUNJARO than on placebo and
occurred in at least 5% of patients treated with MOUNJARO.

In the pool of seven clinical trials, the types and frequency of common adverse reactions, not including hypoglycemia,
were similar to those listed in Table 1.
Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions
In the pool of placebo-controlled trials, gastrointestinal adverse reactions occurred more frequently among patients
receiving MOUNJARO than placebo (placebo 20.4%, MOUNJARO 5 mg 37.1%, MOUNJARO 10 mg 39.6%, MOUNJARO
15 mg 43.6%). More patients receiving MOUNJARO 5 mg (3.0%), MOUNJARO 10 mg (5.4%), and MOUNJARO 15 mg
(6.6%) discontinued treatment due to gastrointestinal adverse reactions than patients receiving placebo (0.4%). The
majority of reports of nausea, vomiting, and/or diarrhea occurred during dose escalation and decreased over time.
The following gastrointestinal adverse reactions were reported more frequently in MOUNJARO-treated patients than
placebo-treated patients (frequencies listed, respectively, as: placebo; 5 mg; 10 mg; 15 mg): eructation (0.4%, 3.0%,
2.5%, 3.3%), flatulence (0%, 1.3%, 2.5%, 2.9%), gastroesophageal reflux disease (0.4%, 1.7%, 2.5%, 1.7%), abdominal
distension (0.4%, 0.4%, 2.9%, 0.8%).
Other Adverse Reactions
Hypoglycemia

Hypoglycemia was more frequent when MOUNJARO was used in combination with a sulfonylurea [see Clinical Studies
(14)]. In a clinical trial up to 104 weeks of treatment, when administered with a sulfonylurea, hypoglycemia (glucose level
<54 mg/dL) occurred in 13.8%, 9.9%, and 12.8%, and severe hypoglycemia occurred in 0.5%, 0%, and 0.6% of patients
treated with MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively.
Heart Rate Increase
In the pool of placebo-controlled trials, treatment with MOUNJARO resulted in a mean increase in heart rate of 2 to 4
beats per minute compared to a mean increase of 1 beat per minute in placebo-treated patients. Episodes of sinus
tachycardia, associated with a concomitant increase from baseline in heart rate of ≥15 beats per minute, also were
reported in 4.3%, 4.6%, 5.9% and 10% of subjects treated with placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg,
respectively. For patients enrolled in Japan, these episodes were reported in 7% (3/43), 7.1% (3/42), 9.3% (4/43), and
23% (10/43) of patients treated with placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. The clinical relevance
of heart rate increases is uncertain.
 7

Hypersensitivity Reactions
Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with MOUNJARO in the pool of placebo-controlled trials, sometimes severe
(e.g., urticaria and eczema); hypersensitivity reactions were reported in 3.2% of MOUNJARO-treated patients compared
to 1.7% of placebo-treated patients.
In the pool of seven clinical trials, hypersensitivity reactions occurred in 106/2,570 (4.1%) of MOUNJARO-treated patients
with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 73/2,455 (3.0%) of MOUNJARO-treated patients who did not develop anti-
tirzepatide antibodies [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.6)].
Injection Site Reactions
In the pool of placebo-controlled trials, injection site reactions were reported in 3.2% of MOUNJARO-treated patients
compared to 0.4% of placebo-treated patients.
In the pool of seven clinical trials, injection site reactions occurred in 119/2,570 (4.6%) of MOUNJARO-treated patients
with anti-tirzepatide antibodies and in 18/2,455 (0.7%) of MOUNJARO-treated patients who did not develop anti-
tirzepatide antibodies [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.6)].
Acute Gallbladder Disease
In the pool of placebo-controlled clinical trials, acute gallbladder disease (cholelithiasis, biliary colic and cholecystectomy)
was reported by 0.6% of MOUNJARO-treated patients and 0% of placebo-treated patients.
Laboratory Abnormalities
Amylase and Lipase Increase
In the pool of placebo-controlled clinical trials, treatment with MOUNJARO resulted in mean increases from baseline in
serum pancreatic amylase concentrations of 33% to 38% and serum lipase concentrations of 31% to 42%. Placebo-
treated patients had a mean increase from baseline in pancreatic amylase of 4% and no changes were observed in
lipase. The clinical significance of elevations in lipase or amylase with MOUNJARO is unknown in the absence of other
signs and symptoms of pancreatitis.
6.2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been reported during post-approval use of MOUNJARO. Because these reactions
are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or
establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis, angioedema.

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
7.1 Concomitant Use with an Insulin Secretagogue (e.g., Sulfonylurea) or with Insulin
When initiating MOUNJARO, consider reducing the dose of concomitantly administered insulin secretagogues (e.g.,
sulfonylureas) or insulin to reduce the risk of hypoglycemia [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)].
7.2 Oral Medications
MOUNJARO delays gastric emptying, and thereby has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly
administered oral medications. Caution should be exercised when oral medications are concomitantly administered with
MOUNJARO.
Monitor patients on oral medications dependent on threshold concentrations for efficacy and those with a narrow
therapeutic index (e.g., warfarin) when concomitantly administered with MOUNJARO.
Advise patients using oral hormonal contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method, or add a barrier method
of contraception for 4 weeks after initiation and for 4 weeks after each dose escalation with MOUNJARO. Hormonal
contraceptives that are not administered orally should not be affected [see Use in Specific Populations (8.3) and Clinical
Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)].

8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS

8.1 Pregnancy
Risk Summary
Available data with MOUNJARO use in pregnant women are insufficient to evaluate for a drug-related risk of major birth
defects, miscarriage, or other adverse maternal or fetal outcomes. There are risks to the mother and fetus associated with
 8

poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy (see Clinical Considerations). Based on animal reproduction studies, there may
be risks to the fetus from exposure to tirzepatide during pregnancy. MOUNJARO should be used during pregnancy only if
the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
In pregnant rats administered tirzepatide during organogenesis, fetal growth reductions and fetal abnormalities occurred
at clinical exposure in maternal rats based on AUC. In rabbits administered tirzepatide during organogenesis, fetal growth
reductions were observed at clinically relevant exposures based on AUC. These adverse embryo/fetal effects in animals
coincided with pharmacological effects on maternal weight and food consumption (see Data).
The estimated background risk of major birth defects is 6–10% in women with pre-gestational diabetes with an HbA1c
>7% and has been reported to be as high as 20–25% in women with an HbA1c >10%. The estimated background risk of
miscarriage for the indicated population is unknown. In the U.S. general population, the estimated background risk of
major birth defects and miscarriage in clinically recognized pregnancies is 2–4% and 15–20%, respectively.
Clinical Considerations
Disease-Associated Maternal and/or Embryo/Fetal Risk
Poorly controlled diabetes in pregnancy increases the maternal risk for diabetic ketoacidosis, pre-eclampsia, spontaneous
abortions, preterm delivery and delivery complications. Poorly controlled diabetes increases the fetal risk for major birth
defects, stillbirth, and macrosomia-related morbidity.
Data
Animal Data
In pregnant rats given twice weekly subcutaneous doses of 0.02, 0.1, and 0.5 mg/kg tirzepatide (0.03-, 0.07-, and 0.5-fold
the MRHD of 15 mg once weekly based on AUC) during organogenesis, increased incidences of external, visceral, and
skeletal malformations, increased incidences of visceral and skeletal developmental variations, and decreased fetal
weights coincided with pharmacologically-mediated reductions in maternal body weights and food consumption at
0.5 mg/kg. In pregnant rabbits given once weekly subcutaneous doses of 0.01, 0.03, or 0.1 mg/kg tirzepatide (0.01-,
0.06-, and 0.2-fold the MRHD) during organogenesis, pharmacologically-mediated effects on the gastrointestinal system
resulting in maternal mortality or abortion in a few rabbits occurred at all dose levels. Reduced fetal weights associated
with decreased maternal food consumption and body weights were observed at 0.1 mg/kg. In a pre- and post-natal study
in rats administered subcutaneous doses of 0.02, 0.10, or 0.25 mg/kg tirzepatide twice weekly from implantation through
lactation, F1 pups from F0 maternal rats given 0.25 mg/kg tirzepatide had statistically significant lower mean body weight
when compared to controls from post-natal day 7 through post-natal day 126 for males and post-natal day 56 for females.
8.2 Lactation
Risk Summary
There are no data on the presence of tirzepatide in animal or human milk, the effects on the breastfed infant, or the effects
on milk production. The developmental and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with the mother’s
clinical need for MOUNJARO and any potential adverse effects on the breastfed infant from MOUNJARO or from the
underlying maternal condition.
8.3 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
Contraception
Use of MOUNJARO may reduce the efficacy of oral hormonal contraceptives due to delayed gastric emptying. This delay
is largest after the first dose and diminishes over time. Advise patients using oral hormonal contraceptives to switch to a
non-oral contraceptive method, or add a barrier method of contraception for 4 weeks after initiation and for 4 weeks after
each dose escalation with MOUNJARO [see Drug Interactions (7.2) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.2, 12.3)].
8.4 Pediatric Use
Safety and effectiveness of MOUNJARO have not been established in pediatric patients (younger than 18 years of age).
8.5 Geriatric Use
In the pool of seven clinical trials, 1539 (30.1%) MOUNJARO-treated patients were 65 years of age or older, and 212
(4.1%) MOUNJARO-treated patients were 75 years of age or older at baseline.
No overall differences in safety or efficacy were detected between these patients and younger patients, but greater
sensitivity of some older individuals cannot be ruled out.

8.6 Renal Impairment

No dosage adjustment of MOUNJARO is recommended for patients with renal impairment. In subjects with renal
impairment including end-stage renal disease (ESRD), no change in tirzepatide pharmacokinetics (PK) was observed [see
Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)]. Monitor renal function when initiating or escalating doses of MOUNJARO in patients with
renal impairment reporting severe adverse gastrointestinal reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)].
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
No dosage adjustment of MOUNJARO is recommended for patients with hepatic impairment. In a clinical pharmacology
study in subjects with varying degrees of hepatic impairment, no change in tirzepatide PK was observed [see Clinical
Pharmacology (12.3)].

10 OVERDOSAGE
In the event of an overdosage, contact Poison Control for latest recommendations. Appropriate supportive treatment
should be initiated according to the patient’s clinical signs and symptoms. A period of observation and treatment for these
symptoms may be necessary, taking into account the half-life of tirzepatide of approximately 5 days.

11 DESCRIPTION
MOUNJARO (tirzepatide) injection, for subcutaneous use, contains tirzepatide, a once weekly GIP receptor and GLP-1
receptor agonist. It is a 39-amino-acid modified peptide based on the GIP sequence. Tirzepatide contains 2 non-coded
amino acids (aminoisobutyric acid, Aib) in positions 2 and 13, a C-terminal amide, and Lys residue at position 20 that is
attached to 1,20-eicosanedioic acid via a linker. The molecular weight is 4813.53 Da and the empirical formula is
C225H348N48O68.
Structural formula:

MOUNJARO is a clear, colorless to slightly yellow, sterile, preservative-free solution for subcutaneous use. Each single-
dose pen contains a 0.5 mL solution of 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, or 15 mg of tirzepatide and the following
excipients: sodium chloride (4.1 mg), sodium phosphate dibasic heptahydrate (0.7 mg), and water for injection.
Hydrochloric acid solution and/or sodium hydroxide solution may have been added to adjust the pH. MOUNJARO has a
pH of 6.5 – 7.5.

12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Tirzepatide is a GIP receptor and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is a 39-amino-acid modified peptide with a C20 fatty diacid
moiety that enables albumin binding and prolongs the half-life. Tirzepatide selectively binds to and activates both the GIP
and GLP-1 receptors, the targets for native GIP and GLP-1.
Tirzepatide enhances first- and second-phase insulin secretion, and reduces glucagon levels, both in a glucose-
dependent manner.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
Tirzepatide lowers fasting and postprandial glucose concentration, decreases food intake, and reduces body weight in
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
First and Second-Phase Insulin Secretion
Tirzepatide enhances the first- and second-phase insulin secretion. (Figure 1)
 10

Figure 1: Mean insulin concentration at 0-120 minutes during hyperglycemic clamp at baseline and Week 28

Insulin Sensitivity
Tirzepatide increases insulin sensitivity, as demonstrated in a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp study after 28 weeks of
treatment.
Glucagon Secretion
Tirzepatide reduces fasting and postprandial glucagon concentrations. Tirzepatide 15 mg reduced fasting glucagon
concentration by 28% and glucagon AUC after a mixed meal by 43%, compared with no change for placebo after 28
weeks of treatment.
Gastric Emptying
Tirzepatide delays gastric emptying. The delay is largest after the first dose and this effect diminishes over time.
Tirzepatide slows post-meal glucose absorption, reducing postprandial glucose.
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
The pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide is similar between healthy subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Steady-
state plasma tirzepatide concentrations were achieved following 4 weeks of once weekly administration. Tirzepatide
exposure increases in a dose-proportional manner.
Absorption
Following subcutaneous administration, the time to maximum plasma concentration of tirzepatide ranges from 8 to 72
hours. The mean absolute bioavailability of tirzepatide following subcutaneous administration is 80%. Similar exposure
was achieved with subcutaneous administration of tirzepatide in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
Distribution
The mean apparent steady-state volume of distribution of tirzepatide following subcutaneous administration in patients
with type 2 diabetes mellitus is approximately 10.3 L. Tirzepatide is highly bound to plasma albumin (99%).
Elimination
The apparent population mean clearance of tirzepatide is 0.061 L/h with an elimination half-life of approximately 5 days,
enabling once-weekly dosing.
 11

Metabolism
Tirzepatide is metabolized by proteolytic cleavage of the peptide backbone, beta-oxidation of the C20 fatty diacid moiety
and amide hydrolysis.
Excretion
The primary excretion routes of tirzepatide metabolites are via urine and feces. Intact tirzepatide is not observed in urine
or feces.
Specific Populations
The intrinsic factors of age, gender, race, ethnicity, or body weight do not have a clinically relevant effect on the PK of
tirzepatide.
Patients with Renal Impairment
Renal impairment does not impact the pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide. The pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide after a single
5 mg dose was evaluated in patients with different degrees of renal impairment (mild, moderate, severe, ESRD)
compared with subjects with normal renal function. This was also shown for patients with both type 2 diabetes mellitus
and renal impairment based on data from clinical studies [see Use in Specific Populations (8.6)].
Patients with Hepatic Impairment
Hepatic impairment does not impact the pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide. The pharmacokinetics of tirzepatide after a
single 5 mg dose was evaluated in patients with different degrees of hepatic impairment (mild, moderate, severe)
compared with subjects with normal hepatic function [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].
Drug Interactions Studies
Potential for Tirzepatide to Influence the Pharmacokinetics of Other Drugs
In vitro studies have shown low potential for tirzepatide to inhibit or induce CYP enzymes, and to inhibit drug transporters.
MOUNJARO delays gastric emptying, and thereby has the potential to impact the absorption of concomitantly
administered oral medications [see Drug Interactions (7.2)].
The impact of tirzepatide on gastric emptying was greatest after a single dose of 5 mg and diminished after subsequent
doses.
Following a first dose of tirzepatide 5 mg, acetaminophen maximum concentration (Cmax) was reduced by 50%, and the
median peak plasma concentration (tmax) occurred 1 hour later. After coadministration at week 4, there was no meaningful
impact on acetaminophen Cmax and tmax. Overall acetaminophen exposure (AUC0-24hr) was not influenced.
Following administration of a combined oral contraceptive (0.035 mg ethinyl estradiol and 0.25 mg norgestimate) in the
presence of a single dose of tirzepatide 5 mg, mean Cmax of ethinyl estradiol, norgestimate, and norelgestromin was
reduced by 59%,66%, and 55%, while mean AUC was reduced by 20%, 21%, and 23%, respectively. A delay in tmax of 2.5
to 4.5 hours was observed.
12.6 Immunogenicity
The observed incidence of anti-drug antibodies is highly dependent on the sensitivity and specificity of the assay.
Differences in assay methods preclude meaningful comparisons of the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in the trials
described below with the incidence of anti-drug antibodies in other trials, including those of tirzepatide or of GLP-1
receptor agonist products.
During the 40- to 104-week treatment periods with ADA sampling conducted up to 44 to 108 weeks in seven clinical trials
in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus [see Clinical Studies (14)], 51% (2,570/5,025) of MOUNJARO-treated patients
developed anti-tirzepatide antibodies. In these trials, anti-tirzepatide antibody formation in 34% and 14% of MOUNJARO-
treated patients showed cross-reactivity to native GIP or native GLP-1, respectively.
Of the 2,570 MOUNJARO-treated patients who developed anti-tirzepatide antibodies during the treatment periods in these
seven trials, 2% and 2% developed neutralizing antibodies against tirzepatide activity on the GIP or GLP-1 receptors,
respectively, and 0.9% and 0.4% developed neutralizing antibodies against native GIP or GLP-1, respectively.
There was no identified clinically significant effect of anti-tirzepatide antibodies on pharmacokinetics or effectiveness of
MOUNJARO. More MOUNJARO-treated patients who developed anti-tirzepatide antibodies experienced hypersensitivity
reactions or injection site reactions than those who did not develop these antibodies [see Adverse Reactions (6.1)].
 12

13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
A 2-year carcinogenicity study was conducted with tirzepatide in male and female rats at doses of 0.15, 0.50, and
1.5 mg/kg (0.1-, 0.4-, and 1-fold the MRHD of 15 mg once weekly based on AUC) administered by subcutaneous injection
twice weekly. A statistically significant increase in thyroid C-cell adenomas was observed in males (≥0.5 mg/kg) and
females (≥0.15 mg/kg), and a statistically significant increase in thyroid C-cell adenomas and carcinomas combined was
observed in males and females at all doses examined. In a 6-month carcinogenicity study in rasH2 transgenic mice,
tirzepatide at doses of 1, 3, and 10 mg/kg administered by subcutaneous injection twice weekly was not tumorigenic.
Tirzepatide was not genotoxic in a rat bone marrow micronucleus assay.
In fertility and early embryonic development studies, male and female rats were administered twice weekly subcutaneous
doses of 0.5, 1.5, or 3 mg/kg (0.3-, 1-, and 2-fold and 0.3-, 0.9-, and 2-fold, respectively, the MRHD of 15 mg once weekly
based on AUC). No effects of tirzepatide were observed on sperm morphology, mating, fertility, and conception. In female
rats, an increase in the number of females with prolonged diestrus and a decrease in the mean number of corpora lutea
resulting in a decrease in the mean number of implantation sites and viable embryos was observed at all dose levels.
These effects were considered secondary to the pharmacological effects of tirzepatide on food consumption and body
weight.

14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Overview of Clinical Studies
The effectiveness of MOUNJARO as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2
diabetes mellitus was established in five trials. In these trials, MOUNJARO was studied as monotherapy (SURPASS-1);
as an add-on to metformin, sulfonylureas, and/or sodium-glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2 inhibitors)
(SURPASS-2, -3, and -4); and in combination with basal insulin with or without metformin (SURPASS-5). In these trials,
MOUNJARO (5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg given subcutaneously once weekly) was compared with placebo, semaglutide
1 mg, insulin degludec, and/or insulin glargine.
In adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, treatment with MOUNJARO produced a statistically significant reduction
from baseline in HbA1c compared to placebo. The effectiveness of MOUNJARO was not impacted by age, gender, race,
ethnicity, region, or by baseline BMI, HbA1c, diabetes duration, or renal function.
14.2 Monotherapy Use of MOUNJARO in Adult Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
SURPASS-1 (NCT03954834) was a 40-week double-blind trial that randomized 478 adult patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus with inadequate glycemic control with diet and exercise to MOUNJARO 5 mg, MOUNJARO 10 mg, MOUNJARO
15 mg, or placebo once weekly.
Patients had a mean age of 54 years, and 52% were men. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 4.7 years,
and the mean BMI was 32 kg/m2. Overall, 36% were White, 35% were Asian, 25% were American Indians/Alaska Natives,
and 5% were Black or African American; 43% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
Monotherapy with MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg and 15 mg once weekly for 40 weeks resulted in a statistically significant
reduction in HbA1c compared with placebo (see Table 3).

14.3 MOUNJARO Use in Combination with Metformin, Sulfonylureas, and/or SGLT2 Inhibitors in Adult Patients
with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Add-on to metformin
SURPASS-2 (NCT03987919) was a 40-week open-label trial (double-blind with respect to MOUNJARO dose assignment)
that randomized 1879 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on stable doses of
metformin alone to the addition of MOUNJARO 5 mg, MOUNJARO 10 mg, or MOUNJARO 15 mg once weekly or
subcutaneous semaglutide 1 mg once weekly.
Patients had a mean age of 57 years and 47% were men. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 8.6 years,
and the mean BMI was 34 kg/m2. Overall, 83% were White, 4% were Black or African American, and 1% were Asian; 70%
identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
Treatment with MOUNJARO 10 mg and 15 mg once weekly for 40 weeks resulted in a statistically significant reduction in
HbA1c compared with semaglutide 1 mg once weekly (see Table 4 and Figure 2).

Add-on to metformin with or without SGLT2 inhibitor

SURPASS-3 (NCT03882970) was a 52-week open-label trial that randomized 1444 adult patients with type 2 diabetes
mellitus with inadequate glycemic control on stable doses of metformin with or without SGLT2 inhibitor to the addition of
MOUNJARO 5 mg, MOUNJARO 10 mg, MOUNJARO 15 mg once weekly, or insulin degludec 100 units/mL once daily. In
this trial, 32% of patients were on SGLT2 inhibitor. Insulin degludec was initiated at 10 units once daily and adjusted
weekly throughout the trial using a treat-to-target algorithm based on self-measured fasting blood glucose values. At
Week 52, 26% of patients randomized to insulin degludec achieved the fasting serum glucose target of <90 mg/dL, and
the mean daily insulin degludec dose was 49 U (0.5 U per kilogram).
Patients had a mean age of 57 years, and 56% were men. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 8.4 years,
and the mean baseline BMI was 34 kg/m2. Overall, 91% were White, 3% were Black or African American, and 5% were
Asian; 29% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
Treatment with MOUNJARO 10 mg and 15 mg once weekly for 52 weeks resulted in a statistically significant reduction in
HbA1c compared with daily insulin degludec (see Table 5).

Add-on to 1-3 oral anti-hyperglycemic agents (metformin, sulfonylurea or SGLT-2 inhibitor)

SURPASS-4 (NCT03730662) was a 104-week open-label trial (52-week primary endpoint) that randomized 2002 adult
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with increased cardiovascular risk to MOUNJARO 5 mg, MOUNJARO 10 mg,
MOUNJARO 15 mg once weekly, or insulin glargine 100 units/mL once daily (1:1:1:3 ratio) on a background of metformin
(95%) and/or sulfonylureas (54%) and/or SGLT2 inhibitors (25%).
 16

Patients had a mean age of 64 years, and 63% were men. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 11.8 years,
and the mean baseline BMI was 33 kg/m2. Overall, 82% were White, 4% were Black or African American, and 4% were
Asian; 48% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity. Across all treatment groups, 87% had a history of cardiovascular
disease. At baseline, eGFR was ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 43%, 60 to 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 40%, 45 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 in
10%, and 30 to 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 in 6% of patients.
Insulin glargine was initiated at 10 U once daily and adjusted weekly throughout the trial using a treat-to-target algorithm
based on self-measured fasting blood glucose values. At Week 52, 30% of patients randomized to insulin glargine
achieved the fasting serum glucose target of <100 mg/dL, and the mean daily insulin glargine dose was 44 U (0.5 U per
kilogram).
Treatment with MOUNJARO 10 mg and 15 mg once weekly for 52 weeks resulted in a statistically significant reduction in
HbA1c compared with insulin glargine once daily (see Table 6).

SURPASS-5 (NCT04039503) was a 40-week double-blind trial that randomized 475 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
with inadequate glycemic control on insulin glargine 100 units/mL, with or without metformin, to MOUNJARO 5 mg,
MOUNJARO 10 mg, MOUNJARO 15 mg once weekly, or placebo. The dose of background insulin glargine was adjusted
using a treat-to-target algorithm based on self-measured fasting blood glucose values, targeting <100 mg/dL.
 17

Patients had a mean age of 61 years, and 56% were men. The mean duration of type 2 diabetes mellitus was 13.3 years,
and the mean baseline BMI was 33 kg/m2. Overall, 80% were White, 1% were Black or African American, and 18% were
Asian; 5% identified as Hispanic or Latino ethnicity.
The mean dose of insulin glargine at baseline was 34, 32, 35, and 33 units/day for patients receiving MOUNJARO 5 mg,
10 mg, 15 mg, and placebo, respectively. At randomization, the initial insulin glargine dose in patients with HbA1c ≤8.0%
was reduced by 20%. At week 40, mean dose of insulin glargine was 38, 36, 29, and 59 units/day for patients receiving
MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, 15 mg, and placebo, respectively.
Treatment with MOUNJARO 5 mg once weekly, 10 mg once weekly and 15 mg once weekly for 40 weeks resulted in a
statistically significant reduction in HbA1c compared with placebo (see Table 7).

a
The modified intent-to-treat population consists of all randomly assigned participants who were exposed to at least 1 dose of
study drug. Patients who discontinued study treatment because they did not meet study enrollment criteria were excluded.
During the trial, rescue medication (additional antihyperglycemic medication) was initiated by 4%, 1%, 0%, and 1% of
patients randomized to placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively. At Week 40 the HbA1c endpoint was
missing for 2%, 6%, 3%, and 7% of patients randomized to placebo, MOUNJARO 5 mg, 10 mg, and 15 mg, respectively.
Missing Week 40 data were imputed using placebo-based multiple imputation.

17 PATIENT COUNSELING INFORMATION

Advise the patient to read the FDA-approved patient labeling (Medication Guide and Instructions for Use).
Risk of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors
Inform patients that MOUNJARO causes thyroid C-cell tumors in rats and that the human relevance of this finding has not
been determined. Counsel patients to report symptoms of thyroid tumors (e.g., a lump in the neck, persistent hoarseness,
dysphagia, or dyspnea) to their healthcare provider [see Boxed Warning and Warnings and Precautions (5.1)].
Pancreatitis
Inform patients of the potential risk for pancreatitis. Instruct patients to discontinue MOUNJARO promptly and contact their
healthcare provider if pancreatitis is suspected (severe abdominal pain that may radiate to the back, and which may or
may not be accompanied by vomiting) [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)].
Hypoglycemia with Concomitant Use of Insulin Secretagogues or Insulin
Inform patients that the risk of hypoglycemia is increased when MOUNJARO is used with an insulin secretagogue (such
as a sulfonylurea) or insulin. Educate patients on the signs and symptoms of hypoglycemia [see Warnings and
Precautions (5.3)].
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Inform patients that serious hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with use of MOUNJARO. Advise patients on the
symptoms of hypersensitivity reactions and instruct them to stop taking MOUNJARO and seek medical advice promptly if
such symptoms occur [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)].
Acute Kidney Injury
Advise patients treated with MOUNJARO of the potential risk of dehydration due to gastrointestinal adverse reactions and
take precautions to avoid fluid depletion. Inform patients of the potential risk for worsening renal function and explain the
associated signs and symptoms of renal impairment, as well as the possibility of dialysis as a medical intervention if renal
failure occurs [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5].
Severe Gastrointestinal Adverse Reactions
Inform patients of the potential risk of severe gastrointestinal adverse reactions. Instruct patients to contact their
healthcare provider if they have severe or persistent gastrointestinal symptoms [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)].
Diabetic Retinopathy Complications
Inform patients to contact their healthcare provider if changes in vision are experienced during treatment with
MOUNJARO [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7].
Acute Gallbladder Disease
Inform patients of the risk of acute gallbladder disease. Instruct patients to contact their healthcare provider for
appropriate clinical follow-up if gallbladder disease is suspected [see Warnings and Precautions (5.8)].
Pregnancy
Advise a pregnant woman of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise women to inform their healthcare provider if they are
pregnant or intend to become pregnant [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
 19

Contraception
Use of MOUNJARO may reduce the efficacy of oral hormonal contraceptives. Advise patients using oral hormonal
contraceptives to switch to a non-oral contraceptive method, or add a barrier method of contraception for 4 weeks after
initiation and for 4 weeks after each dose escalation with MOUNJARO [see Drug Interactions (7.2), Use in Specific
Populations (8.3), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
Missed Doses
Inform patients if a dose is missed, it should be administered as soon as possible within 4 days after the missed dose. If
more than 4 days have passed, the missed dose should be skipped and the next dose should be administered on the
regularly scheduled day. In each case, inform patients to resume their regular once weekly dosing schedule [see Dosage
and Administration (2.1)].
