Tirzepatide is linked as a potential cause for the following:
- Gastroparesis - This is the partial or complete paralysis of the stomach. When this happens, your body’s gastric emptying is slowed down or completely stopped, causing complications such as vomiting, nausea, and abdominal pain.
- Bowel obstruction - Tirzepatide can cause food blockages and bezoar formation within the intestines. If left untreated, this can result in the death of parts of the intestines, which can be fatal.
- Vision loss - To be more specific, tirzepatide causes painless and sudden vision loss, which is called non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION).
Eli Lilly, the manufacturer of tirzepatide medications, failed to warn users about these potential health conditions when using Zepbound and Mounjaro.
