How does Semaglutide/Tirzepatide work?
GLP-1 (Glucagon-like peptide 1) and GIP (Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) are the two most significant incretins that influence glucose and lipid metabolism, gut motility, and appetite.

Scientists discovered this revolutionary new molecule that activates crucial metabolic processes, helping to regulate insulin and glucagon levels in the body. For regular folks, this translates into decreased appetite and feeling full faster – an exciting breakthrough with potential implications for managing weight!

What are the benefits of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?
Looking and feeling better is possible with semaglutide or tirzepatide. In trials, these two drugs offer a healthy 1-2 pound per week weight loss up to 15%-20%, which can result in significant physical benefits such as lower blood pressure, reduced risk for certain cancers, improved cardiovascular health and sexual function! These safe medications may provide the right solution to help you reach your long term wellness goals.
How is Semaglutide/Tirzepatide administered?
Take semaglutide/tirzepatide weekly, easily and conveniently via subcutaneous injection to the abdomen. Rotate your daily administration site around the navel in order to ensure effectiveness.
What are the possible side effects of Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?
Semaglutide/tirzepatide is considered to be safe and effective when used as indicated. But every medication comes with risk of adverse side effects. The most common side effects of using Semaglutide/Tirzepatide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach (abdominal) pain, and constipation. That is why we start everyone on a low dosage and titrate slowly.
Are there any special precautions or warnings for Semaglutide/Tirzepatide?
You should notify your healthcare practitioner if you get changes in vision, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), kidney problems, pancreatitis, or any serious allergic reactions. Symptoms of low blood sugar include sudden sweating, shaking, fast heartbeat, hunger, blurred vision, dizziness, or tingling hands/feet. Semaglutide/Tirzepatide shouldn’t be used if you or your family have a history of certain thyroid cancers such as Medullary thyroid cancer or endocrine neoplasia type 2 . Semaglutide/Tirzepatide should not be used in people with a history of pancreatitis. Semaglutide/Tirzepatide should be used cautiously for people on other blood sugar lowering medications.
How should Semaglutide/Tirzepatide be stored?
Semaglutide/Tirzepatide will be shipped in a refrigerated box and should remain refrigerated until discarded.
Why is Tirzepatide more expensive than Semaglutide?

Semaglutide has long been considered a top-tier weight loss medication, but Tirzepatide is paving the way as an up and coming contender. Not only is it proving to enable more potent fat reduction than its predecessor by activating dual satiety hormones rather than one, the side effects are comparable, if not less to those of GLP-1 drugs—mainly nausea or gastrointestinal issues.

Even though Tirzepatide has been approved for type 2 diabetes, studies indicate that it could be the most effective weight loss drug ever produced.

How long does it take to lose weight?
Typical, safe weight loss is over 3-6 months and approximately 1-2 pounds per week. This is for an orderly and controlled weight reduction that is safe and minimizes side effects.
