Tirzepatide & Zepbound® Weight Loss
Tirzepatide acts on two appetite hormones instead of one. For many patients that means stronger appetite control and steadier progress, with the same once-a-week convenience.

Two hormone pathways, one weekly injection
Tirzepatide activates both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors, two gut hormones that control appetite, fullness and how your body handles sugar. Because it works on both, it is one of the most effective weight loss medications available today.
Zepbound® is the FDA-approved brand of tirzepatide for chronic weight management. During your consult, we'll go over which tirzepatide option makes sense for your health, goals and budget.
Like semaglutide, tirzepatide starts at a low dose and increases step by step. This gives your body time to adjust and keeps side effects manageable.

Frequently asked questions
Is tirzepatide better than semaglutide?
In head-to-head research, tirzepatide produced more weight loss on average. Still, the best medication is the one that works for your body, budget and side-effect tolerance. We'll help you choose.
Can I switch from semaglutide?
Yes. Many of our patients switch. Your provider will pick an appropriate starting dose based on your history.
What are the side effects?
They're similar to other GLP-1 medications: nausea, reduced appetite, constipation or diarrhea, usually mild and short-lived. Staying hydrated and eating enough protein helps.
Does it affect birth control pills?
Tirzepatide can make oral birth control less effective, especially when you start or raise your dose. Ask your provider about a backup method.
