At DirectCare AI, your health and safety are our priority. Below is key safety information for GLP-1 medications, including Zepbound (tirzepatide), Ozempic (semaglutide), and compounded semaglutide.

Key Warnings

Risk of thyroid C-cell tumors. Studies in animals showed thyroid tumors, including cancer, with semaglutide and tirzepatide. It's unknown if this risk applies to humans. Do not use these medications if you or a family member have had thyroid cancer (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
Serious side effects. Monitor for symptoms such as severe abdominal pain (possible pancreatitis), vision changes (retinopathy), or allergic reactions like swelling or difficulty breathing.
Not for pregnancy. These medications should not be used during pregnancy due to potential risks to the unborn child.

How to Use

Administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. Follow your provider's instructions for dosage and administration.

Common Side Effects

Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and stomach pain are common but often improve with time.

Consultation Is Key
