An inquest has heard that a 73-year-old grandmother died after developing sudden pain following an increase in her dose of the weight-loss injection Mounjaro. The case adds to growing scrutiny of the safety of popular weight-loss jabs, which have surged in use across the UK, as coroners examine whether dosage changes may be linked to serious adverse reactions in some patients.

Details of the woman's medical history and the exact circumstances of her death are being examined as part of the ongoing inquest. The hearing is expected to consider whether the increased Mounjaro dose contributed to her sudden pain and subsequent death, with further evidence likely to be heard before a conclusion is reached.
