Tirzepatide - 6-month plan

Join Our 6-Month Tirzepatide Plan at VitaLife Coastal Infusions

Overview of Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking FDA-approved medication for treating type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. It functions as a dual gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, slowing stomach emptying and stimulating insulin release from the pancreas. Patients often experience a significant decrease in appetite, leading to effective weight loss.

Benefits and Efficacy

Research indicates that Tirzepatide outperforms semaglutide (Ozempic) in weight loss, reduction of diabetes biomarkers, and overall side effects. This makes it an exceptional option for those struggling with significant weight loss resistance.

Safety and Side Effects

Common side effects of Tirzepatide are gastrointestinal and include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and GERD. Long-term use may lead to pancreatitis and gallstone formation. Animal studies have suggested a potential risk of developing medullary thyroid carcinoma, although this risk in humans remains uncertain. Therefore, Tirzepatide is not recommended for individuals with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer or MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type-2).

Personalized Treatment Approach

At VitaLife Coastal Infusions, Dr. Petersen and Dr. Carlson tailor Tirzepatide treatments to each patient's needs. Our approach involves using the medication to "kick-start" weight loss in individuals who face significant challenges, followed by a gradual dose reduction over 3-4 months to minimize side effects. Typically, we prefer lower doses (2.5-5 mg weekly) to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How to Use Tirzepatide

- Initial Dosing: Start with 2.5 mg (0.15 ml or 15 units on an insulin syringe) subcutaneously once per week for the first 4 weeks.

- Subsequent Dosing: Increase to 5 mg (0.3 ml or 30 units on an insulin syringe) subcutaneously once weekly for the next 4 weeks.

Most patients achieve excellent results with weekly doses of 2.5-5 mg.

- Duration: At a 2.5 mg weekly dose, each vial will last 180 days. At a 5 mg weekly dose, each vial will last 90 days.

Important Storage Instructions

To maintain its efficacy, Tirzepatide must be kept refrigerated. Avoid leaving the vial at room temperature for extended periods.
