What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is the generic name for the FDA-approved medical weight loss peptide therapy, Mounjaro®. Tirzepatide is often utilized instead of its name brand counterpart due to Tirzepatide’s compounding capabilities. The medical weight loss medication mimics the effects of the two hormones GLP-1 and GIP found in the human body. While there are a few medications that imitate this hormone (GLP-1), Tirzepatide possesses the ability to influence the hormone and encourage weight loss in the body.
How is Tirzepatide employed to address weight loss?
Tirzepatide is used to manage a variety of issues such as hunger and sensations of fullness that might obstruct natural weight loss. Tirzepatide helps patients eat less and feel fuller while still losing weight. Additionally, it affects the brain’s signals for hunger and fullness, which tell a person when to quit eating and can lead to efficient weight loss. All of these factors work together to actualize weight loss and raise general blood glucose levels.
Who is a candidate for Tirzepatide with Connecticut Medical Weight Loss Doctors?
During your initial consultation, the triple board certified medical weight loss specialist doctor performs routine diagnostic tests to establish your eligibility. Men and women in generally good health with realistic weight loss goals are candidates for Tirzepatide peptide therapy with our top rated team.
How is Terzepatide dosed out?
Tirzepatide, unlike its brand-name equivalent (Mounjaro®), can be dosed specifically for each patient’s unique anatomy, leading to more accurate results. Tirzepatide may be compounded and dosed out at various amounts to ensure efficiency and accuracy, in contrast to Mounjaro®, which is dosed out by the manufacturer before the patient receives it.
How do I self-administer my Tirzepatide each week?
Every week, Tirzepatide is given by self-injection. Depending on the patient’s schedule, Tirzepatide may be self-administered in the morning, afternoon, or at night. Patients should take their prescribed dose of Tirzepatide in the same general location and at the same time every week. Your triple board certified medical weight loss doctor will demonstrate how to self-administer if necessary.
