Losing weight and staying on track with fitness goals can be difficult. Tirzepatide is a medication that can make weight management easier by suppressing your appetite so you feel full sooner and lose weight faster.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is an injectable medication administered once a week that simultaneously acts as a glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptor agonist. This dual-action approach aims to promote insulin production and discourage glucagon secretion.
These factors influence the parts of the brain that are responsible for regulating appetite and food intake. By slightly changing the molecular structure, Tirzepatide remains active in the body for weeks, significantly longer than the naturally occurring minute-long equivalent.
Who Should Not Take Tirzepatide?
Individuals with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer, specifically medullary thyroid carcinoma, or those diagnosed with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2) should not take this medication. Additionally, caution is advised for those with conditions such as pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, acute kidney injury, diabetic retinopathy, gallbladder disease, or known allergies to Tirzepatide. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant, it is recommended to avoid using Tirzepatide.
Strive Pharmacy compounds our Tirzepatide to provide a safe and effective alternative to the brand-name product. This formulation includes additional ingredients to reduce side effects and offers personalized dosing tailored to each patient’s needs.
What to Expect
At the start of your treatment, your provider will discuss your medical history with you in detail to avoid potential drug interactions and other complications. We may recommend another treatment option if you have any of the above medical conditions.
Tirzepatide will be prescribed with single-use injection on the same day each week. Injections can be given at any time of the day with or without food and should be administered to the abdomen. You will start at a low dose of our Tirzepatide, and our team will gradually increase it every four weeks as needed. Tirzepatide Results and Recovery
Tirzepatide works with the gastrointestinal system, so potential side effects include constipation, nausea, abdominal pain, low blood sugar, allergic reactions, and acid reflux. However, we will closely monitor your medication schedule to prevent these possible side effects. In clinical studies, patients lost about 15% of their body weight within 16 months.
