Hello

I have a doctors appt to discuss this but has anyone been advised to NOT go on mounjaro (or wegovy) due to family history of pancreatic cancer? I don't think I've seen it mentioned on any online forms when purchasing it

There isn't must on the way online about any links but I'm was wondering if I'm going to be advised to steer of it due to family history.

Well this isn’t as useful as the info from @Tradersinsnow but I don’t remember it coming up in the questionnaire I filled out for Superdrug…

I think it is worth noting that gallstones are a risk with weightloss regardless of cause so injections, SW, Lighter Life, etc all carry that risk. If a gallstone blocks the bile duct it causes acute pancreatitis
Things that show up as risks in clinical trials are not always just a direct effect of the medication
