What Is Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)?
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro®. It works through both GIP and GLP-1 hormone pathways, which influence appetite regulation and glucose metabolism.
Many patients notice appetite reduction first. Weight change tends to follow gradually with proper titration and monitoring.
This medication requires medical supervision. It cannot be purchased over the counter.

Possible Side Effects of Tirzepatide (GLP-1 Therapy)
Common side effects include nausea, constipation, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. Some patients also report reflux or feeling overly full, especially during dose changes.
Symptoms often improve with gradual dose increases. We titrate carefully to improve tolerability and monitor how you’re doing between visits.
Tirzepatide is not appropriate for individuals with a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma, MEN2 syndrome, severe gastroparesis, or certain endocrine conditions. We screen for these during consultation.
