Zepbound can have some side effects, and it’s important to be aware of them. Here are the possible side effects:

Serious Side Effects:

• Stomach Problems: Some people who use Zepbound may experience severe stomach problems. If you have severe or persistent stomach issues, you should tell your healthcare provider.
• Kidney Problems: Diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting can lead to dehydration, which, in turn, may cause kidney problems. It’s crucial to stay hydrated while taking Zepbound to reduce the risk of this.
• Gallbladder Problems: In some cases, Zepbound has been associated with gallbladder problems. If you experience symptoms like upper stomach pain, yellowing of the skin or eyes, fever, or clay-colored stools, inform your healthcare provider promptly.
• Pancreatitis: If you have severe, unrelenting stomach pain with or without vomiting, especially radiating to your back, stop using Zepbound and contact your healthcare provider immediately.
• Serious Allergic Reactions: If you notice symptoms like swelling of your face, lips, tongue, throat, fainting, difficulty breathing or swallowing, rapid heartbeat, severe rash, or itching, stop using Zepbound and seek medical help immediately.
• Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia): Combining Zepbound with medications that can lower blood sugar may increase your risk of hypoglycemia. Look out for symptoms like dizziness, blurred vision, anxiety, sweating, confusion, shakiness, weakness, headache, fast heartbeat, or feeling jittery.
• Changes in Vision: If you have type 2 diabetes and notice changes in your vision while taking Zepbound, inform your healthcare provider.
