Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 29-year-old female, unmarried, and I am concerned about my weight. Last week, I weighed 165 pounds and consulted a doctor for it. I also took a Zepbound (Tirzepatide) injection, as suggested by him last week. It has been two days, and I have been facing constant itching, along with diarrhea. Is this how you will lose weight? Are there side effects of the drug? How can I manage these symptoms? Should I stop taking it from now on? Please help.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Thank you for writing, and I understand your concern.
All these drugs cause plenty of side effects. So I suggest you not use them and use a natural way of weight loss. In your case, they prescribed you Zepbound (Tirzepatide), And after using these medicines, you are facing side effects. These are minor side effects, but if the medicine is continued for longer, the side effects can turn into serious health issues. So I would suggest you not use it again because your body is giving you signs to stop it. Diarrhea and itching are alarming signs suggesting that this medicine may cause allergies in your body. So just use natural ways of weight loss such as exercises and diets; for that, you can consult a dietician and join a Gym as well.
Can you tell me your body weight? Please let me know so I can help accordingly.
I hope this will help you.
Thank you.
