Slight burning/pain. It was more like a 2-inch red oval that itched like a mosquito bite. Three different manufacturers, all with the same results. No cream, ointment, lotion, or Benadryl-type medication (pills or ointment) would stop it. The slight pain and itch lasted for 4 days. By the time the next shot was due, the redness was 95% gone. The dose size didn’t seem to matter, except the red oval would get slightly larger, maybe by 1/8th of an inch, with higher dosages. I started taking tirzepatide at 1,250 mg for 6 weeks, then moved to 2,500 mg for 6 weeks (it was the first GLP I had ever used), and it worked great.
Things we did to try to eliminate the problem: three different brands (Skye, Peptide Sciences, and one China source) — all caused the same reaction. We tried different injection sites (stomach, thighs, love handles, and butt), but all had the same results. Injecting 1 ml of straight Hospira bacteriostatic water into two different locations caused no pain or irritation, so we ruled out the water as the issue. All vials were reconstituted with new Hospira bacteriostatic water bought from a medical supply store, and all were stored in the fridge. We even tried running it through a .22-micron filter, but it made zero difference.
When we switched to semaglutide, there was no redness, no itching, and no problem. Those were my wife’s results. Interestingly, I used the exact same vials from all three vendors and experienced no redness, pain, or itching. My wife has used melanotan 1 and BPC-157 with zero reactions, so I don’t think it’s the filler (mannitol) used in the peptide mix. I would assume the issue must be with the tirzepatide chemical itself.
