Tirzepatide: How It Works

Tirzepatide is both a glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Tirzepatide mimics the GLP-1 hormone and the GIP hormone. The GIP hormone can also trigger insulin creation and sensations of fullness. This dual mechanism of action provides more effective blood sugar control compared to traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists alone.

It works by replicating the hormone GLP-1’s effects. This hormone plays a key role in decreasing appetite and food absorption.

New patients start with a low dose of Tirzepatide and the dose increases with time so our bodies can adapt to the hormone GLP-1 effects. Generally, Tirzepatide users lose 15% of their body weight. Based on research and studies, this noninvasive weight loss medication does help patients achieve their goals but you must commit the time and discipline that’s required with the medication.

As a part of your treatment plan, you’ll make regular visits to be monitored by our Healthcare Professionals who will answer questions and deliver monthly injections to you, or send monthly prescriptions, discuss the weight loss plan for the month, routine lab analysis and physical exams. We’ll monitor your progress throughout to ensure safety and efficacy.

Why We Love It

Tirzepatide works primarily by mimicking the action of two important hormones in the body: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). Here’s a breakdown of how tirzepatide works:

  1. GLP-1 Receptor Agonism: Tirzepatide acts as an agonist (activator) of the GLP-1 receptor. GLP-1 is a hormone produced in the gut in response to food intake. Its main functions include stimulating insulin release from pancreatic beta cells in a glucose-dependent manner (meaning it only releases insulin when blood sugar levels are high), inhibiting glucagon release (which helps prevent the liver from producing too much glucose), and promoting satiety (feeling of fullness after eating). By activating the GLP-1 receptor, tirzepatide helps improve blood sugar control after meals.

  2. GIP Receptor Agonism: In addition to GLP-1 receptor activation, tirzepatide also acts as an agonist at the GIP receptor. GIP is another hormone released from the gut in response to food intake. It stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta cells after meals. By activating the GIP receptor, tirzepatide further enhances insulin secretion in response to food.

  3. Dual Action: The dual action of tirzepatide as both a GLP-1 receptor agonist and a GIP receptor agonist is thought to provide more effective blood sugar control compared to drugs that only target one of these pathways. This combination may also contribute to its potential for promoting weight loss, as both GLP-1 and GIP receptor activation can reduce appetite and food intake.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Tirzepatide is unique in that it is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. This means it mimics the actions of two hormones (GLP-1 and GIP) involved in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite, potentially offering more effective control compared to single pathway medications.

  • Tirzepatide is administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly. This method helps to maintain consistent levels of the medication in the body, providing continuous control of blood sugar levels.

  • Common side effects of Tirzepatide may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, and injection site reactions (such as redness or itching). These side effects are usually mild to moderate and tend to improve over time.

  • Tirzepatide has a low risk of causing hypoglycemia when used alone. However, when used in combination with insulin or insulin secretagogues (such as sulfonylureas), the risk of hypoglycemia may increase. It is important to monitor blood sugar levels closely, especially when starting Tirzepatide or adjusting the dose.

  • Yes, Tirzepatide has been shown to promote weight loss in clinical studies. This effect is due to its actions on appetite regulation and metabolism, including reducing food intake and promoting a feeling of fullness after meals.

  • Tirzepatide begins to work shortly after administration, with effects on blood sugar levels observable within a few weeks of starting treatment. Maximum benefits in terms of glycemic control and weight loss may take several months of continuous therapy.
