Eli Lilly has zero distributors in Nigeria. That "Mounjaro®" you bought? It is generic tirzepatide with a fake label and a 2,000% markup.
Sellers claim they stock "authentic Mounjaro®" imported directly from the US or Europe. They show packaging photos. They promise immediate delivery in Lagos and Abuja.
They are lying.
Eli Lilly and Company has zero authorized distributors in Nigeria. Mounjaro® is not registered with NAFDAC. There is no legitimate supply chain. Every single "Mounjaro" box in Nigeria contains relabeled generic tirzepatide.
Sellers display photos of Mounjaro® packaging with Eli Lilly branding. They claim "FDA approved" and "directly sourced." Some even show batch numbers.
The packaging is printed. The batch numbers are invented.
What actually happens: they buy compounded tirzepatide for a fraction of the cost, print fake Mounjaro® labels, repackage it, and sell it to you at a massive markup. The drug inside may be tirzepatide. The branding is counterfeit.
Sellers justify massively inflated prices by claiming their "Mounjaro®" is imported at great cost and is worth every naira for the "premium experience."
The only premium is their profit margin.
The active ingredient is identical: tirzepatide. Whether it arrives in a "Mounjaro®" box or a compounding pharmacy vial, the molecule is the same. You are paying 20x more for a printed label. That is it.
Sellers claim that "Mounjaro®" is the only way to get this weight loss medication in Nigeria. Pay their price or go without.
This is their most profitable lie.
Licensed compounding pharmacies offer pharmaceutical-grade tirzepatide with proper cold-chain storage, doctor consultation, and delivery nationwide. Same active ingredient. Real quality controls. A fraction of the fake "Mounjaro®" price.
Some sellers insist that Mounjaro® is a "special formula" or "enhanced version" that is superior to generic tirzepatide.
This is pharmacologically false.
Mounjaro® IS tirzepatide. It is simply Eli Lilly's brand name for the drug. Think "Panadol vs paracetamol" -- identical active ingredient, different packaging. Zepbound® is also tirzepatide, approved for weight management. Neither is distributed in Nigeria.
Markup on fake labels
Same tirzepatide, licensed pharmacy
Same drug. Same results. Less markup.
GLP-1 therapy works best when paired with lifestyle changes. These evidence-based strategies can help amplify your weight loss results.
Walking is the most underrated fat-loss tool. Aim for 8,000-10,000 steps daily. It burns calories without spiking hunger hormones, which pairs perfectly with GLP-1 appetite suppression.
Eat 1.2-1.6g protein per kg body weight daily. This preserves muscle mass during weight loss, keeps you satiated longer, and boosts your metabolic rate. Chicken, fish, eggs, beans -- whatever works.
Resistance training prevents the muscle loss that comes with rapid weight loss. Even 20-30 minutes of bodyweight exercises or gym work helps maintain your metabolism and shapes your body composition.
GLP-1 medications can cause dehydration and constipation. Proper hydration supports digestion, reduces nausea side effects, and helps your body process fat loss more efficiently.
Poor sleep raises cortisol and ghrelin (hunger hormone), sabotaging your weight loss. Quality sleep supports GLP-1 effectiveness, muscle recovery, and helps regulate appetite naturally.
The medication reduces appetite, but lasting results require sustainable habits. Focus on showing up 80% of the time. Skip the crash diets. Build routines you can maintain long after treatment ends.
No. Mounjaro® (Eli Lilly's brand) has no authorized distribution in Nigeria. Any "Mounjaro" sold here is relabeled generic tirzepatide at extreme markups. Eli Lilly does not import, distribute, or sell Mounjaro® in Nigeria.
Nothing. Mounjaro® is Eli Lilly's brand name for the drug tirzepatide. The active ingredient is identical. It is like "Panadol vs paracetamol" -- same drug, different name and packaging.
They exploit brand recognition. They buy tirzepatide at a fraction of the cost, apply counterfeit Mounjaro® labels, and charge massively inflated prices with a 2,000%+ markup. You are paying for a printed label, not superior quality or a different drug.
Licensed compounding pharmacies offer pharmaceutical-grade tirzepatide with proper cold-chain storage, delivery, and doctor consultation at fair prices. Visit tirzepatide.ng for legitimate sources.
Yes. Both are tirzepatide manufactured by Eli Lilly. Mounjaro® was approved for type 2 diabetes. Zepbound® was approved for weight management. Same drug, same manufacturer, different approved indications. Neither is available in Nigeria.
When sourced from licensed compounding pharmacies that maintain proper quality controls and cold-chain storage, compounded tirzepatide contains the same active ingredient. Always ensure doctor supervision and verify your pharmacy is properly licensed.
Understand what tirzepatide is, how counterfeit labeling works, and what questions to ask before trusting any seller.
