Frequently Asked Question's
What is used for Medical Weight Loss?
Introducing groundbreaking prescription medication that are redefining the Medical Weight Loss landscape. Witness real transformations as this revolutionary group of medication yields impressive monthly weight loss making a real impact, one person at a time, with genuine and life-changing results. Options for individualized weight loss plans are determined by your healthcare professional with compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide.
Semaglutide & Tirzepatide
Medications Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) used for chronic weight management in overweight individuals struggling with obesity and difficulty losing weight.
What is Semaglutide?
Semaglutide is an effective glucagon-like peptide receptor (GLP-1) agonist which helps control blood sugar levels in the pancreas. Semaglutide works by delaying gastric emptying which diminishes appetite (reducing hunger), curbs sugar cravings, and fosters better management of eating patterns. This medication has demonstrated significant results in clinical studies, with patients achieving an average weight loss of 20-30 pounds over a 12-week duration.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a dual glucagon-like peptide agonist improving blood sugar control in the pancreas. This unique drug imitates two naturally occurring hormones in the body: (GLP-1) and (GIP). Tirzepatide also accelerates gastric emptying, effectively reducing appetite. Studies have proven that Tirzepatide leads to more significant weight loss with fewer side effects when compared to Semaglutide. Research indicates that Tirzepatide resulted in a weight loss of 17.8% in contrast to Semaglutide's 12.4%.
Are there side effects?
The most common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, stomach pain, headache, fatigue, upset stomach, dizziness, feeling full, belching, gas, stomach flu, and heartburn. The dosage is gradually increased every 4 weeks to help manage these side effects.
How is the injection administered?
The medication is administered via a weekly subcutaneous injection. The injections are straightforward and use a very fine needle, similar to insulin injections. The once-weekly dosing offers the advantage of continuous appetite suppression without the typical stimulant effects of other weight loss medications.
How does Semaglutide work?
Semaglutide stimulates the release of insulin from the pancreas after meals lowering the blood sugar. Semaglutide also slows down the speed at which the stomach empties its contents, which can make you feel fuller for longer and reduce food intake.
How does Tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide is a unique medication that mimics two naturally occurring hormones in the body: GLP-1 and GIP. After meals, these hormones stimulate the release of insulin, lowering blood sugar. Tirzepatide also accelerates gastric emptying, suppressing appetite.
How much weight can I expect to lose?
It is important to note that individual results may vary, and the extent of weight loss can be influenced by various factors such as adherence to the prescribed regimen, dietary and lifestyle modifications, and overall health condition. It is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized guidance and to set realistic expectations for weight loss outcomes.
Are you a candidate?
Adults with a body mass index (BMI) over 30 or a BMI over 27 are at weight-related risk of medical problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol are considered candidates.
Who cannot take Semaglutide or Tirzepatide?
Individuals with a personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Syndrome Type 2 (MEN 2) should not take these medications. Patients with pancreatitis, decreased kidney function, low blood sugar, gallbladder disease, and diabetic retinopathy are not candidates.
Here are some groups of individuals who may need to stay away from or use these medications with caution:
-

-

-

-
Severe Gastrointestinal Disorders: Individuals with severe gastrointestinal disorders, such as inflammatory bowel disease, severe gastroparesis, or a history of gastrointestinal surgery, may be at increased risk of adverse gastrointestinal effects from Semaglutide and Tirzepatide. These individuals should use these medications with caution and under close medical supervision.
-
Allergies or Sensitivities: Individuals with known allergies or sensitivities to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide, or any of their components should not use these medications.
-
Severe Renal Impairment: Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are cleared from the body via the kidneys, and their use may need to be adjusted in individuals with severe renal impairment or end-stage renal disease.
-
Liver Disease: Individuals with severe liver disease should use Semaglutide and Tirzepatide with caution, as these medications may affect liver function.
-
Elderly Patients: Elderly patients may be more susceptible to the side effects of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, such as gastrointestinal symptoms and hypoglycemia (especially in patients with diabetes).

Healthcare professionals can assess individual risks and benefits and provide guidance on the most appropriate treatment options.
Are there other benefits of taking Semaglutide & Tirzepatide?
Yes, there are additional benefits, including improved fertility, reduction in PCOS symptoms, and increased glucose metabolism.
Why are Semaglutide and Tirzepatide compounded?
In its original form, Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are typically administered as a once-weekly injection for managing blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes and to curb the appetite for weight loss. However, healthcare providers may prescribe compounded versions of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for off-label use in weight management.
Compounded medications are customized formulations created by compounding pharmacists to meet specific patient needs at a lower price than brand name medications. Brand names for Semaglutide are Ozempic, and Wegovy and brand names for Tirzepatide are Mounjaro, and Zepbound. In the case of compounded weight loss Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, the medications may be prepared in different strengths or formulations than those commercially available for diabetes or weight loss treatment. These compounded formulations may be used as part of a comprehensive weight loss program, typically in conjunction with diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications.
It's important to note that the use of compounded medications for weight loss, including compounded Semaglutide or Tirzepatide, should be done under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider. Off-label use of medications like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide for weight loss may have associated risks and may not be suitable for everyone. Additionally, regulatory agencies like the FDA may not have evaluated the safety and efficacy of compounded medications for weight loss purposes. Therefore, individuals considering compounded weight loss Semaglutide or Tirzepatide should discuss the potential benefits and risks with their healthcare provider.
Is the compounded form of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide effective for weight loss?
While there are no FDA studies available for the compounded off-label use of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, these formulations from reputable 503A and 503B compound pharmacies have gained popularity among Medical Spa's and Weight Loss clinics all over the United States. Many individuals embarking on their weight loss journeys have turned to MedSpa's and Weight loss clinics for these compounded cost-effective options.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of compounded Semaglutide and Tirzepatide may vary from person to person, with some experiencing positive results while others may not. However, compounded Tirzepatide and Semaglutide is effective and has gained more promising efficacy in aiding weight loss as seen on many News broadcast stations, from healthcare providers and by word of mouth from individual patients who have lost weight.
