Tirzepatide (Zepbound) 8 Week Supply

Description

Tirzepatide (generic Zepbound) is a GLP-1 used to treat weight loss / weight management.

Chronic Weight Management: Used for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition (e.g., high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol). This is used in conjunction with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.

Here’s a deeper dive into how it works:

• Dual Action: Unlike some medications, Tirzepatide works by targeting two key gut hormones:

  • Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1): This hormone helps regulate blood sugar by stimulating insulin release and suppressing glucagon (a blood sugar raising hormone).
  • Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP): This hormone also influences blood sugar but in a slightly different way, promoting insulin release and potentially increasing feelings of fullness.

• Weight Loss Effects: By influencing these hormones, Tirzepatide can lead to weight loss through various mechanisms, including:

  • Increased satiety and reduced appetite
  • Improved blood sugar control
  • Potentially impacting fat storage and burning

Important Considerations:

• Injection: Tirzepatide is administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection.
• Side Effects: The most common side effects are gastrointestinal, like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These typically improve over time.Tirzepatide,
• Consult a Doctor: Talk to our provider to see if Tirzepatide is a suitable option for your specific situation, especially if you have a history of pancreatitis or other medical conditions.
