Tirzepatide Frequently Asked Questions

Tirzepatide is a medication that contributes to weight loss by mimicking the action of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, signalling satiety and reducing appetite. It works by decreasing appetite, prolonging feelings of fullness, and modulating fat utilization. Here’s how Tirzepatide contributes to weight loss:

 

  1. Mimicking GLP-1 and GIP Receptors: Tirzepatide mimics the action of GLP-1 and GIP receptors, signalling satiety and reducing appetite.
  2. Decreasing Appetite: Tirzepatide promotes weight loss by decreasing appetite, leading to reduced food intake.
  3. Modulating Fat Utilization: Tirzepatide has been shown to modulate fat utilization, contributing to weight loss.
  4. Increased Energy and Physical Activity: Tirzepatide can potentially lead to increased energy, encouraging individuals to move more and burn more calories throughout the day.

Tirzepatide typically shows weight loss effects after sustained treatment. Here’s a brief timeline:

  1. Initial Effects: Many individuals start noticing weight loss effects with tirzepatide relatively early in their treatment, but the exact timeframe can vary due to factors like dosage and individual response.
  2. Sustained Treatment: Participants in studies achieved a significant weight reduction of 20.9% after 36 weeks of taking tirzepatide at the maximum tolerated dose.
  3. Intensive Lifestyle Intervention: Another study showed an additional 21.1% weight loss after 12 weeks of intensive lifestyle intervention alongside tirzepatide.
  4. Long-term Maintenance: Continued treatment for 36 weeks with tirzepatide maintained weight loss, highlighting its efficacy for sustained results.

Tirzepatide demonstrates weight loss effects with noticeable changes during sustained treatment, especially over several weeks.

Take Tirzepatide on the same day every week, at any time, with or without meals.

Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation.

Tirzepatide has shown effectiveness in maintaining body weight reduction over time. Clinical trials with 300 participants revealed that 89.5% of those on tirzepatide maintained weight loss compared to 9.9% on placebo.

To ensure the safe use of tirzepatide, here are precautions to follow:

  1. Avoid Alcohol: Consuming alcohol while taking tirzepatide can lead to severely low blood sugar.
  2. Be Cautious with Other Medicines: Do not take other medicines during the time you are using tirzepatide without consulting your healthcare provider.
  3. Avoid Certain Foods: Reduce the intake of fried, greasy, fatty foods and those high in sugar to minimize potential side effects while on tirzepatide.
  4. Timing of Alcohol Consumption: If you choose to drink alcohol, avoid doing so on an empty stomach or following exercise, as this may increase the risk of hypoglycemia.
  5. Injection Safety: Never share an injection pen or prefilled syringe with another person while using tirzepatide.

Tirzepatide, marketed as Zepbound™, is FDA-approved for chronic weight management. It’s recommended for individuals with a BMI (Body Mass Index) indicative of obesity or overweight. FDA guidelines suggest considering weight loss medications like tirzepatide for individuals with obesity-related conditions, such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Clinical trials demonstrated significant weight loss in participants with obesity or overweight, including those with type 2 diabetes

Tirzepatide and Ozempic are different medications used to treat type 2 diabetes. Here’s a brief comparison:

Mechanism of Action: 

  • Tirzepatide is a dual-acting drug that targets both GIP and GLP-1 pathways, offering a unique approach to glycemic control.
  • Ozempic (semaglutide) primarily activates the GLP-1 pathway.

Efficacy:

  • Tirzepatide has shown superiority over Ozempic in controlling blood sugar levels.

Dosing:

  • Tirzepatide is taken in higher doses compared to Ozempic.

Tirzepatide has shown significant weight loss effects in clinical trials. The amount of weight loss can vary, but here are key findings:

  • Those treated with tirzepatide experienced weight loss ranging from 34 lbs to 48 lbs.
  • A phase 3 trial demonstrated a 20% reduction in body weight over 72 weeks with tirzepatide.
  • Lilly’s tirzepatide achieved up to 15.7% weight loss in adults with obesity.
  • After 12 weeks of intensive lifestyle intervention, tirzepatide showed an additional 21.1% weight loss, totaling a mean weight loss of 26.6%.

There may be differences in individual results.
