Tirzepatide/Semaglutide Patient Education

What is Tirzepatide and Semaglutide?

An injectable glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist that’s administered once weekly for obesity and diabetes. The medication you receive is a compounded version that is NOT FDA approved.

How does it work for weight loss?

GLP-1 is an incretin hormone that plays a role in your appetite and digestion. Incretins — hormones released by your small intestine — are sent out by your body after you’ve eaten a meal to help lower your blood sugar by triggering insulin and blocking other sources of sugar.

It also slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach (called gastric emptying). The result of these actions causes you to feel full — lowering your appetite and leading to weight reduction.

How do I administer it?

You’ll give yourself the injection once a week, on the same day each week. It can be given at any time of day, and you can take it with or without food.
Tirzepatide/semaglutide is injected just under the skin (subcutaneously) in your abdomen. *See attached for more info.

Potential side effects?

Gastrointestinal (GI) side effects tend to happen most frequently when using this medication — the most common being nausea, constipation, and acid reflux(heartburn). You may experience these effects more strongly when your dose increases.

Since tirzepatide/semaglutide slows down how quickly food leaves your stomach, you may experience side effects like nausea, heartburn, and constipation.

The goal is to have limited side effects, while losing 1-2 lbs/week (and feel the benefits of the medication-less appetite, (craving). We will do this at the least effective dosing.
We may need to adjust your dose every 4-6 weeks in order to achieve that goal.

How do I deal with hair loss?

Hair loss is a common effect with losing weight. To reduce the chance of hair loss you will need to maintain protein levels. You should consume half your bodyweight in protein daily (ex: 200 lbs needs 100 grams of protein). Supplements can help achieve your protein goals (protein shakes, biotin, collagen, protein powders).
