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.
