Lose the weight and keep it off.

Tirzepatide is taken via subcutaneous injection, meaning it is injected under the skin. Tirzepatide is typically taken once a week. However, the recommended starting dose and schedule may vary depending on your health metrics. Along with your prescription, you will receive instructions on how to safely inject your tirzepatide medication.

The injection typically takes place under the skin of the stomach, thighs, or upper arms. By injecting tirzepatide in a different area of the body each time, you can reduce side effects like irritation. Use a new needle each time. For maximum safety, always follow the prescription instructions.

Tirzepatide is a GLP receptor and GLP-1 receptor agonist. It is approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity. Tirzepatide may also be prescribed to adults who are overweight with at least one weight-related condition.

Obesity and excess weight can lead to serious health problems like heart disease and stroke. By taking a medication like tirzepatide to help you lose weight, you can reduce the risk of health complications related to obesity.

The weight loss benefits of tirzepatide are most evident after 36 weeks of treatment. In this study, tirzepatide led to up to 20.9% body weight reductions after 36 weeks. ¹ However, tirzepatide begins helping you lose weight right away, and most users observe gradual but increasing weight loss at 3, 6, and 12 months.

The treatment period with tirzepatide also depends on how you incorporate this medication with exercise and diet. If you successfully follow your doctor's food and physical activity recommendations, you may need tirzepatide for a shorter period.

Some drugs that may interact with tirzepatide and increase the risk of complications include semaglutide, duloxetine, and ritonavir. Your doctor can provide a complete list of tirzepatide drug interactions. To safely avoid tirzepatide interactions, it is important to keep an updated medical history of all the prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and any herbal supplements you are taking.

Individual results may differ based on lifestyle habits, age, medical history, and concurrent health conditions. How much weight loss you experience from taking tirzepatide may also depend on how long you have been taking this medication. Physical activity levels affect how much weight you lose with tirzepatide as well. In clinical studies, patients experienced a mean weight reduction of 20.9% after 36 weeks, with those continuing treatment experiencing an additional 5.5% weight loss after 52 weeks. ¹

There are no specific foods you must avoid while on a tirzepatide regimen. However, cutting out fried, greasy, fatty, and sugary foods can make your weight loss journey smoother. These foods are associated with indigestion, bloating, nausea, and weight gain. You may also want to avoid alcohol and carbonated beverages to reduce the risk of side effects.

Weight loss patients are typically prescribed 2.5 mg injections under the skin once a week for 2-4 weeks. Then, your doctor may slowly increase your dose to 5 mg per week or higher, no more than 15 mg once weekly.

During your monthly check-ins, your doctor will review your weight loss results and recommend any necessary changes to improve outcomes. Your assigned doctor will then inform you if you need to increase or lower your dose to achieve your treatment goals.
