Safety and side effects

What can go wrong, and how likely it is

Tirzepatide is effective, but it is not free of risk. Most side effects are gastrointestinal and manageable, a handful are serious and rare, and a few long-term questions remain genuinely open. This unit separates the common and mild from the rare and serious, and names who should be most cautious.

As throughout, this is education, not medical advice, and any real decision belongs with a clinician who knows your history.
