Tirzepatide is the same active ingredient as Mounjaro® and Zepbound®.
Tirzepatide is used for weight loss, to help lose weight and keep weight off. Tirzepatide works for weight loss by decreasing appetite and slowing the movement of food from the stomach into the small intestine, which may make you feel full more quickly and for a longer period of time.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection FDA-approved for weight loss in adults with obesity or who are overweight and have weight-related medical problems. Tirzepatide helps you to lose weight and maintain weight loss and should be combined with diet and exercise.
Normally, when we eat, natural hormones called GIP and GLP-1 are released by the gut. These hormones increase insulin release, suppress appetite, slow gastric emptying, and increase the feeling of fullness. Tirzeptide works like our natural hormones GIP and GLP-1 by activating the GIP and GLP-1 receptors. Tirzepatide is a GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide works (mechanism of action) by activating both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) hormone receptors.
But GLP-1 in higher amounts also interacts with the parts of the brain that suppress your appetite and signal you to feel full. When used in conjunction with diet and exercise, it can cause significant weight loss — and a reduced risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease — in people who are obese or overweight.
HOW EFFECTIVE IS TIRZEPATIDE FOR WEIGHT LOSS?
In a 2022 phase 3 clinical trial, participants lost an average of 20% of their body weight over 72 weeks.
Patients on tirzepatide 5mg weekly lost 16.1 kg (35.5 lb) on average after 72 weeks. For those on a 10mg weekly dose, the average weight loss was 22.2 kg (48.9 lb), and for those on a 15mg weekly dose average weight loss was 23.6 kg (52.0 lb) over 72 weeks. Patients who used a placebo lost 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) over the 72 weeks. These results are from the clinical trial SURMOUNT-1, NCT04184622. Individual results may vary.
Our medical weight loss treatment programs include medication to help our patients manage common side effects including nausea and vomiting.
