The drug I am on is tirzepatide + B12.

Many people my age have SOME arthritis, which involves inflammation. I don’t see it in my hands very much…maybe at little bit at times… but I have occasional bouts of gout which is a form of arthritis. I would not say gout
is “normal “but I consider some arthritic joints to be a normal part of aging.

You’re right that most drugs have a side effect and often several side effects, including I suppose depletion of essential nutrients.
