    False advertising claims form the backbone of Eli Lilly's telehealth-focused litigation. The theory is that marketing representations — 'generic tirzepatide,' 'FDA-compliant,' 'therapeutically equivalent to Mounjaro' — made by telehealth operators and their affiliated pharmacies are materially misleading. Under the Lanham Act, plaintiffs must show (1) a false or misleading statement, (2) actual or likely deception, (3) materiality, (4) commercial interstate activity, and (5) likelihood of injury. Courts in multiple 2025 and 2026 rulings have found that many compounded tirzepatide marketing claims meet this standard, clearing the way for preliminary injunctions and contested damages.
