Tirzepatide
Advanced, Science-Based Support for Weight Management
At Deering Wellness, we offer Tirzepatide injections as part of a medically supervised weight loss program. Tirzepatide is a novel, prescription medication that helps regulate appetite and blood sugar, supporting sustainable weight loss when combined with healthy lifestyle changes.
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication that mimics two natural hormones, GIP and GLP-1, which regulate blood sugar and appetite. By activating these pathways, tirzepatide helps reduce hunger, increase feelings of fullness, and improve metabolic function.
This medication is administered as a once-weekly injection, typically under the skin in areas such as the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
What Are the Benefits of Tirzepatide?
Effective Weight Loss
It helps reduce appetite, promote fullness, and decrease overall calorie intake, supporting consistent and sustainable weight loss while improving overall metabolic health.
Improved Blood Sugar Control
Originally designed for type 2 diabetes, tirzepatide effectively lowers blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity and slowing down digestion.
Cardiometabolic Benefits
Tirzepatide may help improve cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, and lower blood pressure, supporting overall heart and metabolic health.
Dual Hormone Action
Unlike other medications that mimic only GLP-1, tirzepatide also activates GIP, which may enhance its effectiveness in both glucose control and weight loss, offering even stronger results.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Tirzepatide Work?
Tirzepatide acts on receptors for both GIP and GLP-1 hormones, improving insulin release and reducing appetite. This dual mechanism can lead to significant weight loss and improved blood sugar control, making it an effective tool in weight management.
Who Should Not Take Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide may not be suitable for individuals who:
- Have a personal or family history of certain thyroid cancers
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Have a known allergy to tirzepatide or any components of the medication
- Have specific gastrointestinal conditions affecting absorption
Your provider will review your medical history to ensure tirzepatide is safe for you.
How Is Tirzepatide Administered?
Tirzepatide is given as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) using a small, fine needle. Common injection sites include the abdomen, thighs, or upper arms. Most patients find the injection quick and minimally uncomfortable.
How Long Will I Need To Take Tirzepatide?
Treatment duration varies for each individual. We recommend continuing therapy until you reach your weight loss goals, with regular follow-up and guidance from your healthcare provider.
