GLP-1 options
Talk to our support team right now!
We’re here to help. Our team of experienced healthcare professionals can answer your questions, discuss your options, and help you find the best weight loss medication for your needs. Whether it’s Tirzepatide or another option, we’ll guide you through every step of the process.
Most popularTirzepatide
Compounded Tirzepatide has the same active ingredient as Zepbound, with the added benefit of dosage customization. By targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, this compounded medication enhances treatment plans for weight management and glycemic control, making it an efficient and economically advantageous choice for patients.
Ozempic
Ozempic is a well-known GLP-1 medication originally designed to treat type 2 diabetes. However, it’s also been proven effective for weight loss. Ozempic works by mimicking the hormone GLP-1, which regulates blood sugar levels and appetite. People using Ozempic often see 5-10% weight loss over time.
Wegovy
Wegovy is a higher-dose version of Semaglutide, specifically designed for weight loss. It’s one of the most powerful GLP-1 medications for reducing body fat. In clinical studies, people using Wegovy lost about 15% of their body weight. It’s administered via weekly injections and, combined with a healthy diet, can deliver impressive results.
Semaglutide
Semaglutide is the active ingredient in both Ozempic and Wegovy. If you’re taking either of these medications, you’re already benefiting from Semaglutide’s powerful effects. This medication has been widely studied and is proven to help with both diabetes management and weight loss, making it a versatile option.
Mounjaro
Mounjaro is another brand of Tirzepatide, specifically approved for treating type 2 diabetes, though it also offers significant weight loss benefits. Like Tirzepatide, it works on two hormonal pathways, making it incredibly effective at curbing hunger and promoting sustainable weight loss.
Zepbound
Zepbound is another option that contains Tirzepatide and is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss. This medication works similarly to Mounjaro, with the same dual-action approach that helps regulate blood sugar and reduce appetite. People using Zepbound in clinical trials have reported losing a significant percentage of their body weight.
Rybelsus
If you’re looking for an oral option, Rybelsus might be a good fit. It’s the first GLP-1 medication available in pill form. While it’s primarily used for managing type 2 diabetes, Rybelsus has also shown potential for weight loss, making it a more convenient alternative for people who prefer not to take injections.
Contrave
Contrave is a non-GLP-1 weight loss medication that combines two drugs—naltrexone and bupropion. These drugs work together to reduce cravings and control hunger. While it doesn’t have the same blood sugar benefits as Tirzepatide, Contrave is still a useful tool for people who struggle with emotional eating and appetite control.
Eligibility
Do you qualify for tirzepatide?
Most adults who qualify have one or more of the following:
- BMI of 30 or higher (Zepbound® for chronic weight management)
- BMI of 27 or higher with a weight-related condition such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea or high cholesterol
- An adult with type 2 diabetes (Mounjaro®)
- Comfortable with a once-weekly self-injection and refrigerated storage
- No personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or MEN 2
Tirzepatide must not be used by anyone with a personal or family history of MTC or MEN 2, during pregnancy, or by people under 18. It must be refrigerated. Your physician reviews your full history at the free consultation and decides whether treatment is appropriate. See the Zepbound® Prescribing Information.
Thinking about switching to tirzepatide?
Taking semaglutide, liraglutide or another GLP-1 and wondering whether a different medication would suit you better? Or moving from compounded tirzepatide to an FDA-approved brand? Your physician plans the switch, including timing and starting dose, and monitors how you respond.

Medications
Zepbound® vs Mounjaro®: same medicine, different approvals
Zepbound®
Zepbound (tirzepatide) is FDA-approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity, or overweight with a weight-related condition, and for moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity. It acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
Prescribing informationMounjaro®
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) uses the same dual GIP and GLP-1 mechanism. It is FDA-approved to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, not for weight loss. For chronic weight management, ask your physician about Zepbound.
Prescribing informationTirzepatide vs other weight-loss medications
| Medication | Mechanism | Dosing | Avg. weight loss | Route |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tirzepatide (Zepbound®, Mounjaro®) | Dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist | Once weekly | 20.9% at 15 mg | Injection |
| Semaglutide (Wegovy®) | GLP-1 agonist | Once weekly (injection) | 14.9% | Injection |
| Liraglutide (Saxenda®) | GLP-1 agonist | Once daily | 8.0% | Injection |
Each figure is the average weight loss from that medication’s own pivotal trial, so the trials differ in design and population. The only direct comparison is SURMOUNT-5, where tirzepatide and semaglutide were tested in the same 751 adults (20.2% vs 13.7%).
Dosing
Tirzepatide for Weight Loss Brief Dosage Guide
The dosage of Tirzepatide will depend on your individual needs and how your body responds to the medication. Here’s a brief guide to typical dosages:
Tirzepatide Weight Loss Starting Dose
Most people start with a 2.5 mg dose of Tirzepatide once a week. This initial dose helps your body adjust to the medication and reduces the likelihood of side effects like nausea or vomiting.
Tirzepatide 2.5 mg for Weight Loss
The 2.5 mg dose is typically used for the first few weeks of treatment. Once your body has adjusted, your healthcare provider may increase the dose to enhance weight loss.
Tirzepatide 10 mg for Weight Loss
For many patients, the 10 mg dose provides optimal weight loss results. By this point in your treatment, you should be seeing noticeable changes in your weight and appetite.
Tirzepatide 12.5 mg for Weight Loss
If necessary, your healthcare provider may increase your dose to 12.5 mg to maximize the medication’s effectiveness. This higher dose is often recommended for patients who need more aggressive weight loss or have not seen sufficient results with the lower doses.
Key Points to Remember:
Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when taking Tirzepatide.
Do not change your dose without consulting your doctor.
Store the medication properly to ensure it remains effective.
Side effects
Tirzepatide Side Effects
Like any medication, Tirzepatide can cause side effects in some people. While most side effects are mild and tend to resolve as your body adjusts to the medication, it’s important to be aware of them and know when to seek medical advice. Here’s a more detailed look at the common side effects and how they might affect you:
Nausea
Nausea is one of the most common side effects experienced by people taking Tirzepatide. This is because the medication slows down how quickly food moves through your stomach, helping you feel full for longer. While this is beneficial for weight loss, it can also lead to feelings of nausea, especially in the early stages of treatment.
How to manage nausea:
- Eat smaller, more frequent meals rather than large portions.
- Avoid foods that are greasy, fried, or spicy, as they can worsen nausea.
- Stay hydrated by sipping water or herbal teas throughout the day.
- If nausea persists, your healthcare provider may recommend anti-nausea medication or suggest adjusting the dosage of Tirzepatide.
Vomiting
Vomiting is less common than nausea but may occur, especially in the first few weeks of treatment. This can happen if your body is adjusting to the slower digestion caused by Tirzepatide. While vomiting can be unpleasant, it usually subsides as your body gets used to the medication.
How to manage vomiting:
- Try to rest after eating and avoid lying down immediately after meals.
- Stick to bland foods like crackers or toast if you’re feeling queasy.
- If vomiting is persistent or severe, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider. They may adjust your dose or provide other treatments to help reduce this side effect.
Diarrhea
Some people experience diarrhea when they first start taking Tirzepatide. This is because the medication can affect how your intestines process food and fluids. Diarrhea is usually mild and temporary, but in some cases, it can be more bothersome.
How to manage diarrhea:
- Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated, as diarrhea can lead to dehydration.
- Avoid high-fiber foods and caffeine, which can make diarrhea worse.
- Eating bland, low-fiber foods like rice, bananas, and applesauce can help settle your stomach.
- If diarrhea continues, consult your doctor, as they may suggest adjusting your treatment plan.
Fatigue
Feeling tired or fatigued is another common side effect of Tirzepatide. This may be due to your body’s adjustment to lower blood sugar levels and reduced food intake, as well as the metabolic changes caused by the medication.
How to manage fatigue:
- Make sure you’re getting enough rest and sleep at night.
- Keep your blood sugar levels stable by eating small, balanced meals throughout the day.
- Incorporate light exercise into your routine to boost energy levels, such as walking or yoga.
- If fatigue is persistent or significantly impacts your daily life, talk to your healthcare provider about adjusting your treatment plan.
Headaches
Headaches are another side effect that some people experience when taking Tirzepatide. These headaches may be related to changes in blood sugar levels or dehydration, especially if nausea and diarrhea have led to fluid loss.
How to manage headaches:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
- Eat regularly to maintain stable blood sugar levels.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers, like acetaminophen or ibuprofen, can help alleviate headaches, but always consult your doctor before taking any additional medications.
- If headaches persist or become severe, it’s important to consult your healthcare provider.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about tirzepatide
Can’t find your answer? Our care team is available 24/7.
What is tirzepatide and how does it work?
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that activates two hormone receptors, GIP and GLP-1. Together they reduce appetite, help you feel full sooner and improve how your body handles blood sugar. It is sold as Zepbound® for chronic weight management and Mounjaro® for type 2 diabetes.
What is the difference between tirzepatide and semaglutide?
Semaglutide (Wegovy®, Ozempic®) acts on GLP-1 receptors only, while tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. In the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial, adults taking tirzepatide lost 20.2% of their body weight on average over 72 weeks, compared with 13.7% on semaglutide.
What is the difference between Zepbound and Mounjaro?
Both contain tirzepatide. Zepbound® is FDA-approved for chronic weight management (and for obstructive sleep apnea in adults with obesity), while Mounjaro® is FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes. Your physician decides which, if either, is appropriate for you.
How much weight can I lose with tirzepatide?
In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, adults lost an average of 15.0% of their body weight at 5 mg, 19.5% at 10 mg and 20.9% at 15 mg over 72 weeks, combined with diet and exercise. Individual results vary.
How do I get a tirzepatide prescription online?
Book a free consultation, complete a short health questionnaire and meet a licensed physician in a 15-minute video visit. If tirzepatide is right for you, your prescription can be written the same day and your medication delivered in 24–48 hours.
How much does tirzepatide cost without insurance?
Our tirzepatide program is $399/month, including physician visits and medication. The 3-month package is $1,125 ($375/month) and the 6-month package is $2,199 (as low as $366.50/month). Brand-name medications are available at additional cost.
Can I switch from semaglutide to tirzepatide?
Yes, under a physician’s guidance. Your physician reviews your current medication and dose, decides when to switch and what tirzepatide dose to start on, and monitors how you respond. Do not take both at the same time.
How long does tirzepatide take to work?
Many people notice less appetite within the first few weeks. Weight loss builds gradually as the dose increases; in SURMOUNT-1, weight continued to fall through 72 weeks of treatment.
Is tirzepatide covered by insurance?
Coverage for weight loss varies widely by plan. Our programs are self-pay, so you don’t need insurance. If your plan covers Zepbound® or Mounjaro®, your physician can tell you how to use it.
What is the dose escalation schedule for tirzepatide?
Treatment usually starts at 2.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks. The dose can then increase in 2.5 mg steps at least 4 weeks apart (5, 7.5, 10, 12.5 mg) up to a maximum of 15 mg, depending on how you respond and tolerate it. Your physician sets your schedule.
More questions (20)
How does Tirzepatide compare to other weight loss medications?
Tirzepatide stands out because it targets two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP, while most other medications, like Ozempic or Wegovy, target only GLP-1. This dual action makes Tirzepatide more effective in reducing appetite and improving metabolism, which can result in greater weight loss compared to other medications.
Can Tirzepatide be used for weight loss if I don’t have diabetes?
Yes, Tirzepatide has been approved for weight loss even for people who do not have type 2 diabetes. In fact, the weight loss benefits of Tirzepatide have been so significant that it is now prescribed primarily for obesity management as well as diabetes.
Is it safe to take Tirzepatide with other medications?
You should always consult your healthcare provider before combining Tirzepatide with other medications. While Tirzepatide is generally safe, it can interact with other drugs, especially those that affect blood sugar levels or cause gastrointestinal symptoms.
How long do I need to stay on Tirzepatide for weight loss?
The duration of Tirzepatide treatment depends on your weight loss goals and how your body responds to the medication. Many patients stay on it for 6-12 months or longer. Your healthcare provider will assess your progress and determine the right time to stop or adjust the treatment.
What should I do if I miss a dose of Tirzepatide?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If your next scheduled dose is within 48 hours, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Do not take two doses at the same time to make up for the missed dose. Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice for missed doses.
Can Tirzepatide be used alongside diet and exercise?
Absolutely! Tirzepatide is most effective when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise. In fact, the best weight loss results are seen when patients combine the medication with healthy lifestyle changes, as Tirzepatide helps control appetite and supports long-term weight management.
What happens if I stop taking Tirzepatide?
When you stop taking Tirzepatide, the appetite-suppressing effects will gradually wear off. Some patients may experience weight regain if they return to old eating habits. It’s important to maintain the healthy habits you’ve developed during your treatment to sustain weight loss after stopping the medication.
Can I drink alcohol while taking Tirzepatide?
It’s advisable to limit alcohol consumption while taking Tirzepatide. Alcohol can affect your blood sugar levels and may increase the risk of side effects such as nausea or dizziness. Always consult your doctor about how alcohol might interact with your medication.
Is Tirzepatide covered by insurance for weight loss?
Insurance coverage for Tirzepatide can vary. Some plans cover it for treating diabetes, but not for weight loss. However, if your healthcare provider can demonstrate a medical need, some insurers may cover it for obesity management. Be sure to check with your insurance provider for specific details.
Can Tirzepatide be used for weight loss in people with other chronic conditions?
Tirzepatide may be safe for people with certain chronic conditions like high blood pressure or high cholesterol, but it’s important to discuss your full medical history with your doctor. If you have conditions like severe heart disease, pancreatitis, or a history of thyroid cancer, your healthcare provider may advise against using Tirzepatide.
How quickly can I expect to see weight loss results with Tirzepatide?
Most patients start to notice weight loss within the first 4-6 weeks of taking Tirzepatide. However, more significant weight loss typically occurs over a period of several months. Maximum results, like a 15-20% reduction in body weight, are usually seen around the 6-12 month mark, depending on lifestyle changes and dosage.
Can Tirzepatide be used by people with a history of eating disorders?
If you have a history of an eating disorder, it’s crucial to discuss this with your healthcare provider before starting Tirzepatide. Since the medication affects appetite and hunger cues, it may need to be used cautiously in patients with past or current eating disorders to prevent potential complications.
Does Tirzepatide cause muscle loss along with fat loss?
Tirzepatide primarily promotes fat loss rather than muscle loss. However, like any weight loss regimen, it’s important to combine Tirzepatide with strength training and sufficient protein intake to preserve muscle mass during weight loss.
How does Tirzepatide affect energy levels?
Many patients report an increase in energy levels as they lose weight with Tirzepatide. As your body sheds excess fat and your blood sugar levels stabilize, you may feel more energized and motivated to stay active. However, in the early stages, some patients might experience mild fatigue as their body adjusts to the medication.
Is Tirzepatide safe for people over the age of 65?
Yes, Tirzepatide can be prescribed to people over the age of 65. However, the dosage and potential side effects may need to be closely monitored, as older adults may be more sensitive to certain medications. Your healthcare provider will determine the safest treatment plan based on your age and overall health.
What are the most common side effects of Tirzepatide?
The most common side effects of Tirzepatide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. These side effects are usually mild and tend to decrease over time as your body gets used to the medication. If side effects persist or become severe, contact your healthcare provider for guidance.
Can Tirzepatide help reduce belly fat?
Yes, Tirzepatide is effective at reducing visceral fat, which is the type of fat stored around the abdomen. Patients who take Tirzepatide often see a reduction in belly fat as they lose weight, which can also reduce the risk of obesity-related conditions such as heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
Is Tirzepatide effective for weight loss in people with hypothyroidism?
Yes, people with hypothyroidism can benefit from Tirzepatide for weight loss. However, it’s important to ensure that your thyroid condition is well-managed before starting the medication. Tirzepatide can help with weight loss even in individuals who struggle with hypothyroidism-related weight gain, but consult your doctor for personalized advice.
Does Tirzepatide require regular blood tests?
Yes, your doctor may recommend regular blood tests to monitor your blood sugar levels and other health markers while you’re taking Tirzepatide. This is especially important if you have type 2 diabetes or other health conditions that require ongoing monitoring.
Can Tirzepatide be combined with other weight loss treatments, like surgery or diet pills?
Tirzepatide is typically used as a standalone treatment, but in some cases, your healthcare provider may recommend combining it with other weight loss strategies. However, it’s important not to combine Tirzepatide with other medications or treatments, such as diet pills, without consulting your doctor, as this could lead to unwanted side effects or interactions.
