Safety and Tolerability : Both semaglutide and tirzepatide are generally well-tolerated, but they may both cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, particularly during the initial titration period
Patients experiencing new-onset lower back pain while taking semaglutide should not automatically attribute the symptom to their medication, as alternative explanations are often more likely and require appropriate clinical evaluation
