Tirzepatide

Alternative Names: Zepbound, Mounjaro

Tirzepatide is a medication used for weight loss that works by activating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, helping reduce appetite, slow gastric emptying, and improve blood sugar control. Clinical studies show substantial weight loss (often ~15–20% or more) over time. It’s given as a once-weekly injection and is generally well tolerated, though common side effects include nausea, vomiting, and GI upset, especially during dose escalation. Overall, one of the most effective medical options currently available for weight loss.

I’ve seen great results with tirzepatide, often with less side effects than semaglutide. Weight loss can be significant, and many patients tolerate it well. Starting low or “micro-dosing” can help the body adjust and minimize GI side effects. Overall, a very effective option when tolerated.
