Recently approved to treat type II diabetes and FDA approved to treat obesity.
Personalized Compounded Tirzepatide* is the first dual targeted treatment for weight loss and diabetes. It is a dual GIP / GLP-1 agonist. GLP-1 and GIP are peptide hormones that are secreted with the benefit of utilizing cells from intestines called enteroendocrine cells in reaction to the consumption of nutrients, and they have an important function in postprandial metabolism. Due to this unique dual activity property, it is also referred to as “twincretin.” Personalized Compounded Tirzepatide works as an appetite suppressant and by controlling insulin levels to avoid large spikes in blood sugar.
Personalized Compounded Tirzepatide* injection is in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. It works by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. For example, when you eat carbohydrates, the pancreas will release the correct amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high which helps avoid large spikes. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. Tirzepatide slows gastric emptying which allows food to stay in the stomach longer, allowing you to stay full for longer periods of time. Tirzepatide also works to reduce appetite and control over-eating.
Our personalized compounded tirzepatide* will be compounded with B6, B12, glycine, or NAD based on patient specific needs determined by the medical provider.
At Padgett medical center we do split dosing to avoid side effects while getting better appetite control. Split dosing is for example 2.9mg (1/2 dose on Monday and 1/2 dose on Thursday)
Until now, personalized compounded semaglutide* has been considered the newest and the most powerful weight loss medication, but personalized compounded tirzepatide appears to produce even greater weight loss by stimulating two satiety hormone receptors instead of just one. Some patients do better on one versus another. It can be patient specific, therefore we use both at Padgett Medical Center.
In general, patients seem to have side effects less frequently because we start at a low dose and titrate up. However, some mild side effects can occur within the first few weeks such as nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or heartburn. We can prescribe an anti-nausea medication if you experience side effects. After a few weeks on the medication, most side effects resolve.
Yes, we can split the dosage into twice a week injections which normally eliminates side effects and gives longer appetite control.
