It is a once-weekly injection, and your doctor increases the dose gradually. Everyone responds differently. The most common side effects are digestive: nausea, reduced appetite, and changes in digestion. They tend to show up early or after a dose increase, and they often ease as your body adjusts. Compounded tirzepatide is prepared by state-licensed pharmacies. It is not reviewed or approved by the FDA for safety or effectiveness, is not the same as commercially available brand-name products, and carries additional risks. Talk with your licensed provider about whether a compounded medication is right for you.
