What Is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection originally developed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it’s now making waves for its impressive effects on chronic weight management. Sold under brand names like Mounjaro® and Zepbound™, tirzepatide works by mimicking two powerful hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—that help regulate insulin, control appetite, and lower blood sugar.

When used along with diet and exercise, tirzepatide may cause weight loss by helping people feel full longer and eat less. This FDA-approved medicine isn’t just about the scale—it’s helping people with obesity, sleep apnea, and other medical problems regain control of their health. 

How Does Tirzepatide Injection Work?

Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that also activates GIP—two naturally occurring hormones that support blood sugar control, insulin regulation, and appetite suppression. When you use tirzepatide as part of a weekly injection routine, it can help you lose weight and keep the weight off by working with your body, not against it.

Here’s how it works:

  • Slows digestion to help you feel full longer and reduce cravings
  • Improves insulin sensitivity to help lower blood sugar
  • Mimics the action of GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP)
  • Targets the pancreas and hormonal system for long-lasting results

Why Choose Tirzepatide Injections for Medical Weight Loss?

Tirzepatide injections offer a science-backed, sustainable path to weight loss. If you’ve tried diets, workouts, or other programs with little success, this may be the medical weight loss option you’ve been waiting for.

Here’s why so many people are choosing tirzepatide:

  • Proven results in clinical studies—many patients lose up to 20% of their body weight
  • Helps reset metabolism while reducing hunger and cravings
  • Supports lasting behavior change—not just short-term fixes

Your health care professional will review your medical history, explain your regular dosing schedule, and monitor for any side effects. As always, tell your doctor if you plan to become pregnant or are taking birth control pills, as adjustments may be recommended.

Common Side Effects of Tirzepatide Injections

Like any medicine, tirzepatide injections can come with some side effects—most are mild and tend to fade as your body adjusts. 

Most common side effects may include:

  • Nausea or upset stomach
  • Fatigue
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite (this one actually helps!)
  • Mild redness at the injection site

Less common but serious effects of tirzepatide:

  • Symptoms of low blood sugar, especially if you take insulin or sulfonylureas
  • Gallbladder problems, pancreatitis, or trouble swallowing
  • Rare thyroid issues, such as lump or swelling in the neck

Always read the information carefully, rotate injection sites, and let us know if you experience anything unusual while taking this medication.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

Most people begin with a 2.5-milligram dose, which may increase gradually to help minimize side effects. We may recommend stepping up to 15 mg over time, depending on how you’re responding.

Tirzepatide is injected under the skin, usually in the upper arm, thigh, or abdomen. Be sure to rotate injection sites and never use the same area as tirzepatide was last injected. Store it in its original carton and keep it stored at room temperature as directed.

You may be a good candidate for tirzepatide injections if you:

  • Are an adult with a BMI over 30 (or over 27 with health issues)
  • Want a non-surgical, injected-under-the-skin shot
  • Are not pregnant or breastfeeding—ask your doctor if you need another type of birth control
  • Are not allergic to tirzepatide or using tirzepatide unless directed by your provider

Our team will review your medical history, help manage any possible side effects, and guide you every step of the way.

Yes, but it’s important to let your provider know about all medicines to treat diabetes, including insulin or sulfonylureas. Tirzepatide with other medicines may increase the risk of symptoms of low blood sugar, so we’ll review your full medical history before starting.

If you miss a dose and it’s been less than 4 days (96 hours), inject it as soon as you remember. If more than 4 days have passed, skip the missed dose and return to your regular schedule. Don’t double up.
