Former Lilly sales rep alleges she was fired over Mounjaro marketing
Former Eli Lilly sales representative Jennifer Mansion has sued the company, alleging she was fired after complaining about Mounjaro marketing.
Mansion says she saw Lilly sales reps promote the diabetes drug for weight loss while working in Dallas.
She also alleges that a physician described Mounjaro as a weight-loss option at a luncheon sponsored by Lilly.
Weight-loss use had not received regulatory approval, according to her lawsuit.
Doctors may prescribe medicines for uses that regulators have not approved, but drugmakers cannot market them for those uses.
Mansion filed the lawsuit in federal court in Texas, and no further steps in the case are described.
