MangoRx: we said Eli Lilly's lawsuit was ongoing. It settled in June 2025
Published 2026-09-17. Corrected 2026-10-26.
- What we published
- MangoRx's review said: "Eli Lilly has sued MangoRx, alleging its compounded oral tirzepatide product improperly copies Zepbound/Mounjaro and has not been independently tested or FDA-reviewed for safety or efficacy. MangoRx disputes the claims. Litigation was ongoing as of mid-2026." Its one-liner mentioned "active Eli Lilly litigation", its transparency note called the suit "Actively contested litigation", and its treatments listed oral tirzepatide beside oral semaglutide.
- What was actually true
- Mangoceuticals, the company behind MangoRx, reports in its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 (filed with the SEC on May 19, 2026): "On June 23, 2025, the Company and Eli Lilly entered into a Confidential Settlement and Mutual Release Agreement whereby both parties agreed to settle and resolve the complaint upon the Company agreeing pay Eli Lilly a total of $ 20,000 in cash (the 'Settlement Amount') and the Company agreeing to refrain from marketing and selling its Tirzepatide based 'TRIM' products on its MangoRx.com website in the future. The Company paid the Settlement Amount on June 27, 2025 and the dispute has been settled in full." On October 26, 2026 mangorx.com listed only one weight-loss product, Slim (compounded oral semaglutide), and its old tirzepatide product page returned a 404.
- Why it happened
- We carried the lawsuit note over from our sister site, where it was written from news coverage of the court filings in August 2026. It was never checked against the company's own filings, which had reported the settlement more than a year earlier.
- How we found out
- An editorial review of the legal claims on our clinic pages on October 26, 2026, which read Mangoceuticals' 10-Q on sec.gov.
- What we changed
- The review now says the suit settled on June 23, 2025, with the filing quoted and dated, and the one-liner no longer mentions litigation. Oral tirzepatide is removed from MangoRx's treatments, so it no longer appears in tirzepatide or oral tirzepatide filters. Scores are unchanged: transparency stays 4.0 and treatment 6.5, total 5.5/10, and the transparency and treatment notes now say the suit is settled and the tirzepatide tablets are no longer sold. Whether those two scores should change is a separate decision still to be made.
