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 in Ocala, 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 Ocala.
What Side Effects May Be Experienced?
In general, side effects are experienced less frequently because treatment is started at a low dose and gradually increased over time. However, during the first few weeks, mild side effects may occur, including nausea, diarrhea, constipation, or heartburn. If needed, anti-nausea medication may be prescribed. After several weeks of consistent use, most side effects are typically resolved.
What Can Be Done If Side Effects Occur?
If side effects are experienced, adjustments can be made. For example, the dosage may be split into twice-weekly injections. As a result, side effects are often minimized while longer-lasting appetite control is achieved.
