Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide works by activating both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors in your body. This triggers the release of insulin from your pancreas that blocks glucagon, a hormone that increases blood sugar levels. As a result, your blood sugar levels can be controlled effectively, especially after a meal. In addition, tirzepatide affects certain chemicals in the brain which in turn decreases food intake, increases energy expenditure, and prevents ectopic fat deposition (abnormal fat accumulation in body parts that normally contains small amounts of fat). These effects result in significant weight reductions.

It’s recommended for all patients to begin Tirzepatide at 2.5 mg to see how well it’s tolerated and then increase the dose from there. It’s essential to follow the instructions of your healthcare provider. Here is Tirzepetide’s recommended dosing schedule:

Week 1-4: 2.5 mg weekly

$250

Week 5-8: 5 mg once weekly

$350

Week 9-12: 7.5 mg once weekly

$450

Week 13-16: 10 mg once weekly

$550

Please keep in mind that these doses are a recommendation. Most patients find success at a low dose and choose to remain there for more than a 4-week span. Increases in dosing are not mandatory. Most patients see positive results with their weight loss in the first few doses. If this is the case, no further increases in dosing will be required until weight loss slows and/or appetite increases. Our provider will work with you throughout the program to find the right dose for your individual situation.
