Tirzepatide
Our Most Effective Weight Loss Option
Tirzepatide is the newest and most effective weight loss treatment to hit the market. It is about 12% more effective than semaglutide.
How Does It Work?
-
Decreases appetite via the GLP-1pathway AND the GIP pathway; therefore lowering caloric intake
-
Slowing gastric emptying leading to the feeling of sustained satiety along with faster satiation
-
Stabilizing insulin levels to allow the release of stored fat, high insulin levels can lead to inability to lose stored fat and increased appetite
Do I Qualify?
It is appropriate for patients with a BMI >30 or >27 in the presence of at least one weight-related comorbid condition (hypertension, sleep apnea, or high cholesterol).
Tirzepatide is typically better tolerated than Semaglutide. Adverse effects are fairly uncommon at less than 5% and mostly include GI upset. Possible adverse effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, dyspepsia, dizziness, flatulence, hypoglycemia, and reflux.
Contraindications:
-
Patients with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma or in patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia II
-
Concurrent use of any other GLP-1 receptor agonists (semaglutide, ozempic, saxenda, etc.)
-
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Due to both cost and availability, we utilize compounded tirzepatide with L-carnitine versus the brand. We follow the dosage as closely as possible as that is how it has been studied.
L-carnitine, the additional ingredient, is a naturally occuring amino acid that converts fat into energy in the body. L-carnitine is present in our popular Lipo-Vite injections.
Pricing
Initial cost is $500 plus $40 shipping and that includes the visit, 8 week supply of medication, needles, and alcohol pads. After the initial vial and increasing dosage along with ensuring tolerance of the medication, we do offer two 2 ml vials for $950 plus shipping.
