What makes Tirzepatide different from Semaglutide?

Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1/GIP agonist, meaning it activates two different pathways for glucose control and weight loss. Clinical trials showed Tirzepatide produced greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide, averaging 15-20% body weight reduction.

How do I titrate Tirzepatide dosage?

Start at 2.5mg weekly for 4 weeks. Increase by 2.5mg increments every 4 weeks as tolerated: 2.5mg → 5mg → 7.5mg → 10mg → 12.5mg → 15mg (maximum). Not everyone needs to reach the maximum dose.

What are common Tirzepatide side effects?

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, decreased appetite, vomiting, and constipation. These are typically mild to moderate and decrease over time. Slow titration helps minimize gastrointestinal side effects.

How do I reconstitute Tirzepatide powder?

Add bacteriostatic water slowly to the vial, directing the stream against the glass wall. For a 10mg vial with 2mL water, you get 5mg/mL concentration. Never shake - gently swirl until fully dissolved.

Can I take Tirzepatide with other medications?

Tirzepatide may affect absorption of oral medications due to delayed gastric emptying. Consult your healthcare provider about timing of other medications, especially oral contraceptives or medications with narrow therapeutic windows.
