Abstract

Analysis involved 24,725 individuals using liraglutide, 21,454 using semaglutide, and 11,538 using tirzepatide.

  • Tirzepatide had fewer reports of adverse drug reactions compared to liraglutide and semaglutide.
  • The strength of the pharmacovigilance association for tirzepatide was the lowest among the three medications.
  • Semaglutide was significantly associated with unusual adverse events, including suicidal ideation and behavior.
  • Other notable adverse events linked to semaglutide included hair loss and vision loss.
