Most side effects happen in the stomach and are more common early on or when the dose increases. If symptoms are severe, persistent, or you can’t keep fluids down, contact your prescriber. Get urgent help for allergic reactions or severe abdominal pain.

Zepbound Safety Overview
Zepbound can cause significant side effects, and the main safety risk is serious stomach issues and dehydration, plus rare but serious complications. Don’t use it if you have MTC/MEN2. Tell your prescriber about upcoming surgery or anesthesia.
Zepbound Warnings & Precautions
Zepbound has important safety warnings. The most serious boxed warning is the risk of thyroid C-cell tumors seen in rats (it’s unknown if this risk applies to humans).
Do not use Zepbound if:
- You have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC), or you have MEN 2
- You’ve had a serious allergic reaction to tirzepatide or an ingredient in Zepbound
Important risks to review with your prescriber include:
- Severe stomach/intestinal side effects, dehydration, and kidney problems
- Gallbladder problems and pancreatitis
- Low blood sugar risk is higher if used with insulin or sulfonylureas
- Suicidal thoughts/behavior warning (monitor mood changes)
- Rare aspiration risk during anesthesia/deep sedation (delayed stomach emptying)
Side Effects and When to Get Help
Common side effects may include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Constipation
Get urgent help right away if you have:
- Signs of a severe allergic reaction (swelling, trouble breathing)
- Severe, persistent abdominal pain (with or without vomiting)
- Severe dehydration symptoms (can’t keep fluids down, fainting, very low urine)
Interactions
Most interactions relate to low blood sugar (when combined with insulin-type meds) and delayed stomach emptying. Bring a full medication list, including supplements. If you use oral birth control, discuss backup contraception during dose changes.
Zepbound can interact in a few important ways:
- Using it with insulin or sulfonylureas can increase low blood sugar risk, so prescribers may lower those doses
- It slows stomach emptying, which can affect absorption of some oral medications
- It may reduce the effectiveness of oral hormonal birth control during dose changes; patients are advised to switch to a non-oral method or add a barrier method for 4 weeks after starting and 4 weeks after each dose increase
