How does tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide works by targeting GLP-1 AND GIP receptors which stimulates the release of insulin and reduces the time for the stomach to empty its contents.
This results in appetite suppression as you feel full more quickly and experience less hunger throughout the day.

Tirzepatide Before and After
Tirzepatide vs semaglutide
Tirzepatide is the latest and most potent weight management solution.
Similar to semaglutide which is also used for weight management, it operates on GLP-1 receptors, but it ALSO targets an additional receptor called GIP, making it a super-drug with demonstrated superior weight loss and glucose control.
Another HUGE advantage is that the side effects may appear to be much milder with this medication than the semaglutides others are offering.
Tirzepatide dosage
Tirzepatide dosage usually starts with 2.5 mg injected weekly.
Most patients will start to notice effects of the medication in 48-72 hours from their first dose. The dosage can be increased as needed, usually to 5mg, then 7.5 mg, 10 mg, and higher if needed.
The medication is injected into a fatty area such as the thigh, abdomen, or back of the arm. It is a very small needle and well tolerated. The injection can be done any time of the day with or without meals.
Tirzepatide side effects
A big advantage of Tirzepatide over semaglutide is that the side effects are reported to be more mild and better tolerated.
Common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort and constipation. Not everyone experiences this, but it is not uncommon to have some degree of these initially.
The side effects lessen over time and can be most dramatic at the start of treatment or with changing dosages. If you experience a rash, unusual swelling, wheezing, or severe abdominal pain, seek immediate medical attention.
