There is no available data on death rates, heart-related illnesses, or serious side effects for semaglutide or tirzepatide in adults with high blood pressure, even though these drugs are approved for weight loss and widely used.

See the scientific wording

No data on all-cause mortality, cardiovascular morbidity, serious adverse events, or overall adverse events are available for semaglutide or tirzepatide in adults with essential hypertension, despite their recent approval for weight management and widespread clinical use.

Why this might work

No one has tracked whether these drugs cause deaths, heart problems, or serious side effects in people with high blood pressure because no studies have followed them long enough to see these outcomes.
