Like all medications, semaglutide and tirzepatide can cause side effects. Most side effects are mild to moderate and tend to improve as your body adjusts to treatment. These medications work by slowing stomach emptying and reducing appetite, which is why gastrointestinal symptoms are the most commonly reported.
The most frequently reported side effects include:
Nausea
Constipation
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Stomach discomfort or cramping
Bloating
Heartburn or indigestion
Increased fullness after meals
Reduced appetite
Fatigue or low energy
Mild dizziness
Headache
Not everyone experiences side effects, and many patients report that symptoms lessen after the first few weeks of treatment.
