Understand the option

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide mimics two hormones released after eating. These signals help connect your appetite, digestion, and blood-sugar response.

How it works

From your meal
to your body’s response.

The two hormones are called GIP and GLP-1. Tirzepatide activates their receptors, including receptors involved in appetite and insulin release. It also slows the movement of food out of the stomach.

How tirzepatide acts

Appetite support.
A coordinated approach.

01

Reduced
food intake

Acts on appetite pathways that can reduce how much you feel like eating.

02

Slower
digestion

Delays stomach emptying. This effect is strongest after the first dose and decreases over time.

03

A responsive
insulin signal

Increases insulin release and reduces glucagon, a hormone that raises blood sugar, when blood sugar is elevated.

Care built around you

What will your physician review?

Your physician looks beyond your weight to consider treatment suitability, medication interactions, and how you have responded to previous care.

01 · Your health history

Your health, in context

Share your weight history and any thyroid, pancreatic, gallbladder, or significant digestive conditions.

02 · Your current medications

What needs a closer look

Include weight-loss medicines, insulin, and oral contraception so your physician can review possible interactions.

03 · Your treatment experience

What has worked for you

Describe previous weight-management treatments, your response, and any side effects that affected you.

Benefits, evidence & important considerations

Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved. A physician must identify an individual clinical reason for a compounded formulation. Published results for FDA-approved products do not establish results for a compounded product.

How do I get started?

Complete the Tirzepatide intake with your medical history and current treatment details. Your physician reviews your responses and contacts you if more information is needed before making a treatment decision.
