Tirzepatide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes, weight gain or obesity. This recently approved weight loss drug has boasted phenomenal results. Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that regulates insulin and appetite. It is an effective option for weight loss without the extreme dieting or invasive surgical procedures often used.
At Balanced Health and Wellness, Dr. Rutman uses compounded Tirzepatide – because it’s at the frontier of medically assisted weight loss and offers a lower cost than more expensive brand name options.
Tirzepatide works the same as other brand name Tirzepatide weight loss drugs. Obtained without supply chain interruptions at a fraction of the cost you would pay for the brand name drugs containing Tirzepatide, these compounded medications have an additional advantage. They can be formulated to your doctor’s precise specifications.
Compounded Tirzepatide is produced in State Board of Pharmacy licensed sterile compounding pharmacies, or FDA 503(b) Outsourcing Facilities. We work with pharmacies licensed in all 50 states only using the highest quality ingredients.
Tirzepatide works by mimicking two naturally occurring hormones in the body:
Also used in Semaglutide, GLP-1 stimulates the pancreas to reduce blood sugar levels, decreasing emptying of the stomach so people feel full longer. GLP-1 also works on hunger centers in the brain to prevent cravings.
But Tirzepatide also utilizes GIP, which works in the brain to decrease appetite.
The drug works in part by delaying the digestive process - providing a longer lasting feeling of fullness after eating. That’s just one way it makes weight loss so much easier. Tirzepatide activates the GLP-1 and GIP hormone receptors. GIP receptors are stimulated when we eat and GLP-1 tells the brain when the body is full. This can help patients feel full on less food and move food more slowly through the digestive tract and can thus:
Tirzepatide is designed to treat weight gain and obesity, as well as Type 2 Diabetes. It is safe and effective for the treatment of overweight and obese patients, specifically those with a BMI of 25 or higher.
Tirzepatide has several potential benefits, including:
Tirzepatide may also have potential benefits for people with heart failure and may lower the risk of cardiovascular events in all heart patients.
Tirzepatide has an excellent safety profile. We will discuss all of your safety concerns at our first session, after looking at your medical history and any specific risk factors in your case, before proceeding with treatment.
However, if you have certain allergies (e.g., to stainless steel), have hemostatic (bleeding) dysfunction, anemia, cancer, or blood clotting disorders, all Injections may be contraindicated. Also, if you are pregnant or nursing or taking certain medications, we will also need to delay treatment.
Tirzepatide is contraindicated if you have:
A Tirzepatide injection, when performed in our offices, typically takes around 15 to 30 minutes and can be done during a lunch break. Your initial consultation may take longer as we will require extra time to complete your medical history. Most patients elect to administer their own shots at home, but appointments are necessary to monitor your health and progress. Appointments can be conducted in person or via telemed options.
At your first session, we always take a medical history and review any medications, supplements or herbal medications you’re taking, as well as assess any particular allergies, contraindications or medical needs you may have. Your consultation can be in–person or a telemed consultation with our medical provider. You can book an in-office lab draw or walk into any Quest or LabCorp near you for lab testing. All weight loss medications are taken weekly, with monthly follow-up consultations.
Most people experience little to no discomfort.
Results vary among individuals. You may see a difference in appetite the first day after treatment.
Again, results can vary, but most people need to keep taking Tirzepatide to continue its effects.
At your initial consultation, we will take a full medical history and determine together with you if you would be a good candidate for these types of medical weight loss injections.
