Severity: Moderate

Severity basis: drug interactions section (keywords: monitor). Combining Tirzepatide (GLP-1/GIP receptor agonist) and Warfarin (Vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant) is classified as a moderate interaction.

What to Do

Use this combination with caution. Your prescriber may monitor you more closely or adjust doses.

How This Interaction Works

Interactions like this one can happen when two medicines have overlapping effects, or when one changes how the other is absorbed, broken down, or cleared from the body. Tirzepatide is a glp-1/gip receptor agonist and Warfarin is a vitamin k antagonist anticoagulant; together they are documented as a moderate interaction. How much this matters depends on your dose, your other medications, and your overall health.

If You Take Both Medications

If you have been prescribed both Tirzepatide and Warfarin, do not start, stop, or change either medication on your own — some medicines are unsafe to stop suddenly. Tell your prescriber and pharmacist that you take both so they can decide whether the combination is right for you, adjust the dose, monitor you more closely, or suggest an alternative.
