Potential Side Effects

While tirzepatide is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience gastrointestinal side effects, particularly during dose escalation:

  • Common Side Effects:Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal discomfort.
  • Most side effects diminish over time as the body adapts to the medication.

As with any medication, tirzepatide should be used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare professional, considering individual health needs and potential risks. Ongoing research continues to expand its therapeutic applications, promising even broader benefits in the future.
