Tirzepatide is the first dual incretin glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide/glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor activator approved for the management of type II diabetes mellitus. This drug was also recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration as a management option for patients with obesity. Tirzepatide has been also reported to be beneficial in reducing liver fat content. Although its efficacy is well described in the literature, no cases of tirzepatide-induced hepatotoxicity have been reported. We report a case of a 37-year-old woman with metabolic syndrome who was noted to have elevated liver enzymes secondary to tirzepatide use.
