Sumario:A male in his 70s developed a rash on his lower abdomen after changing his subcutaneous injection drug from dulaglutide to tirzepatide. The rash diminished after stopping tirzepatide injection. This case illustrated that tirzepatide can potentially lead to an injection site rash, despite another glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist (RA) being used without adverse reactions. Injection site reactions are one of the potential adverse events associated with GLP-1 RA use. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of tirzepatide-induced injection site reaction.
