Adherence
Tirzepatide use is strongly associated with a high frequency of dosing errors, particularly incorrect dose administration, which increases significantly over time and correlates with strong statistical safety signals.
If you are using tirzepatide, be aware that dosing errors are the most common side effect reported. The once-weekly schedule and mandatory dose increases can be confusing. Use a calendar or app to track your injections and strictly follow the titration steps to avoid mistakes.
Incorrect dose administration was the top AE, increasing 8-fold from 1248 (2022) to 9800 (2024), with strong risk signals (ROR 22.15... and PRR 16.80...)
Why this rating
Data is from a spontaneous reporting system (FAERS), which is prone to underreporting and bias, though the statistical signals (ROR/PRR) are strong.
