ABOUT Tizrzepatide

Tirzepatide is a medication known as a dual agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1s) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors.

It works similarly to Semaglutide (another GLP-1), but mimics two hormones in the body which work to slow down digestion, regulate blood glucose levels, and help with appetite and cravings.

The medication is given with doses increasing every 4 weeks until the therapeutic dosage is attained.

Tirzepatide is administered via subcutaneous injection and should be used in conjunction with diet and exercise. 

Tirzepatide helps slow down the rate of gastric emptying. It helps to regulate your blood sugar in two ways.

This leads to a reduction in your appetite, leading to decreased food intake and improving weight loss.

GLP-1s also work on the pleasure pathways in the brain (specifically the hypothalamus) to decrease cravings, especially for sugar and carbohydrates, which leads to more effective blood glucose control.

It also stimulates the release of glucagon and therefore may be used with type 1 diabetics, where semaglutide may not.

The first step is to complete both a medical questionnaire and consultation that will help determine if you are an appropriate candidate for treatment with Tirzepatide.

The medication will be delivered to your house, so there is no need to come in to obtain the medication or supplies.

Your nurse injector will provide you with education on how to perform the weekly injections and how to measure the dosage.

This education can be performed in person if you would like extra instruction and informational materials are also provided.
