This augmented height can lead to the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IFN-, which promotes B cell class switching and initiates pathogenic autoantibodies production such as Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies, most notably anti-dsDNA antibodies, typical lupus-characteristic markers, that induce additional inflammation and tissue damage (115, 118)
Additionally, iron chelators (e.g., deferoxamine, deferiprone) may help mitigate iron-driven oxidative stress, potentially reducing inflammation (175)
Like most medications, tirzepatide can cause side effects, though many people tolerate it well, especially when starting at a low dose
