Tirzepatide is the newest FDA-approved prescription medication that promotes weight loss by suppressing appetite, causing a reduction in food intake. This medication mimics the GLP-1 and GIP hormones, regulating your appetite and blood sugar levels.
Tirzepatide causes your insulin production to become more efficient and makes you feel satisfied with a lower food intake. Over time, and with the proper combination of a balanced diet and exercise, Tirzepatide can offer significant weight loss results in shorter time frames.
In the SURMOUNT-1 study, Tirzepatide reduced body weight by up to 21% after 72 weeks of treatment, with associated improvements in cardiometabolic risk factors.
Just like Semaglutide, this medication is also proven to help reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease in people who are overweight or dealing with obesity.
At PhySlim, we combine this innovative treatment with a comprehensive health perspective that encourages implementing healthy habits into your routine.
Like Semaglutide, Tirzepatide is injected weekly below the abdominal area for a period of 3 to 6 months.
Before starting to administer this medication, we will perform a thorough evaluation where we will examine your vitals, weight, measurements, and blood samples.
Once we’ve determined that Tirzepatide is the right fit for your weight loss program, we will administer a Vitamin B-12 injection, which will help boost your energy levels and metabolism to give you a head start on your weight loss program.
After your Vitamin B-12 injection, we will start by administering a shot of Tirzepatide every seven days.
Unlike Semaglutide, Tirzepatide can’t be used in children under 18 or in people with type 1 diabetes.
We will also help you find an alternative to this medication in case you or your family have experienced:
Common side effects of Tirzepatide, just like Semaglutide, are usually related to your gastrointestinal system. These include:
One effective method to tackle these side effects is to stop eating once you notice you start feeling full. Also, try to follow the meal plan we will provide you with, as foods that are rich in fat tend to increase negative gastrointestinal side effects.
