The points given below are to be kept in mind before starting Zepbound

• Don’t use Zepbound if you or anyone in your family has ever had a type of thyroid cancer called MTC or if you have a condition called Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2).
• It could lead to thyroid tumors, including cancer. If you notice a lump or swelling in your neck, have trouble swallowing, sound hoarse, or experience shortness of breath, tell your doctor. These could be signs of thyroid cancer. In studies with rats, Zepbound and similar medicines caused thyroid tumors, including thyroid cancer. We’re not sure if Zepbound can do the same in people or cause a type of thyroid cancer called medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC).
