What is Tirzepatide?

This compounded preparation contains tirzepatide, a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy pursuant to an individual patient prescription.

How does Tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 hormone receptors, providing a dual action that reduces appetite, slows digestion, and improves insulin sensitivity. This dual mechanism may produce greater weight reduction than single-receptor agents.

How to use Tirzepatide

Inject subcutaneously once weekly as prescribed. Common sites include the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Rotate sites with each injection. Administer on the same day each week.

Tirzepatide side effects

Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, and injection site reactions are common. Appetite suppression is intended. These effects are usually most noticeable when starting or escalating the dose and typically improve over time.

Drug interactions with Tirzepatide

May delay absorption of oral medications. Use caution with insulin or sulfonylureas due to low blood sugar risk. Inform your prescriber of all medications, supplements, and any over-the-counter drugs you take.

How to store Tirzepatide

Refrigerate at 36°F–46°F (2°C–8°C). Do not freeze. Protect from light. Discard any unused portion per your pharmacy's instructions.
