Editorial Policy

Our mission

We publish clear, accurate and balanced information about tirzepatide and other weight-loss medications: how they work, what they cost, who they're for and who they're not for.

Our business and conflicts of interest

Tirzepatide Medics connects patients with licensed clinicians who may prescribe tirzepatide, so we have a financial interest in this topic. That's why our guides cover risks, side effects, costs, alternatives and reasons tirzepatide may not be right for you, and why clinicians, not marketers, have the final say on medical content.

Independence

• We don't accept payment from drug makers or pharmacies to mention, rank or recommend products.
• Marketing goals never override a medical reviewer's changes.
• We clearly state that Zepbound® and Mounjaro® are FDA-approved and that compounded tirzepatide is not.

Sources we use

• Peer-reviewed studies, especially randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews (for example, the SURMOUNT trials of tirzepatide).
• FDA prescribing information, medication guides and safety communications.
• Guidelines from medical societies and public health agencies such as the CDC and NIH.

We don't rely on press releases, social media or other companies' marketing for medical claims. When evidence is limited or mixed, we say so.

Who writes our content

Articles are written by health writers and clinicians whose names and backgrounds appear on every article and on their author pages. See the full list below.

Use of AI tools

If writers use AI tools for research or drafting, a person rewrites and fact-checks the content, and it goes through our medical review process, before anything is published.

Patient reviews

Reviews and quotes come from real patients who agreed to share them. We don't edit them to change their meaning. Individual results vary, and we say so.

Corrections and updates

If something looks inaccurate or out of date, email support@tirzepatidemedics.org with the page link. Reports are checked by our medical team, confirmed errors are corrected, and significant corrections are noted on the article.
