What labs should I get before starting tirzepatide if I have a heart condition? Patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions should obtain a baseline ECG, comprehensive metabolic panel (including potassium, magnesium, calcium, and sodium), thyroid function tests (TSH and free T4), and lipid panel before starting tirzepatide

We also provide an assessment of body weight loss and nausea induced by semaglutide and tirzeapatide across patients with obesity and T2D in the STEP 2 and SURPASS 2 trials compared to those with obesity but not T2D in the STEP 1 and SURMOUNT 1 trials ( Figure 2 )
To conserve water, the body pulls fluid away from the tissues surrounding the eyes, causing them to appear hollow and sunken
The semaglutide group were significantly less likely to experience MACE
