Tirzepatide FAQs
Tirzepatide is a medication used primarily for managing type 2 diabetes, but it has also shown promise for weight loss. It works by mimicking the effects of two naturally occurring hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help regulate blood sugar levels and promote feelings of fullness. By increasing the body’s sensitivity to insulin, Tirzepatide helps control blood glucose levels and may contribute to weight reduction.
Tirzepatide is generally prescribed to adults with type 2 diabetes who need better control of their blood sugar. However, it is also being explored for individuals seeking weight loss, even without diabetes. Ideal candidates are typically individuals with a BMI over 30, or over 27 with weight-related health conditions, and those who are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.
The most common side effects of Tirzepatide include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, and constipation. These effects are generally mild and tend to improve over time. However, more serious side effects, such as pancreatitis or allergic reactions, are possible and should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Studies have shown that individuals taking Tirzepatide for weight loss may lose between 15-22% of their body weight, depending on the dose and duration of treatment. However, individual results vary, and Tirzepatide should be used in combination with a healthy diet and regular exercise to achieve the best outcomes.
Tirzepatide is administered as a once-weekly injection under the skin (subcutaneous injection). It is typically self-injected in areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your healthcare provider will provide guidance on how to properly administer the injection.
