Frequently Asked Questions: Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) for Weight Loss

What is Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) and how does it help with weight loss?

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) is a medication that activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, two hormones that play a crucial role in regulating hunger, insulin production, and fat metabolism. By reducing appetite and improving glucose regulation, Mounjaro helps promote weight loss while managing blood sugar levels.

Unlike medications that target only GLP-1 receptors (like Semaglutide), Tirzepatide works on both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, offering dual-action benefits. This dual approach helps patients experience greater appetite suppression, improved metabolic function, and more significant weight loss compared to GLP-1-only medications.

Who is a good candidate for Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®)?

Mounjaro® is suitable for individuals with a BMI of 30 or higher, or those with a BMI of 27 and weight-related health conditions like Type 2 diabetes. It’s particularly beneficial for patients who have struggled to lose weight through lifestyle changes alone or those seeking an advanced, non-surgical weight loss option.

Many patients begin to notice significant weight loss within the first few weeks of treatment. However, the full effects of Tirzepatide typically become more noticeable after 12-16 weeks of consistent use, especially when combined with a healthy diet and exercise plan.

Like most medications, Tirzepatide can have some side effects. Common ones include mild nausea, diarrhea, or constipation, especially in the initial stages of treatment. Most side effects tend to subside after the body adjusts to the medication. During your consultation at Refine by Tulsi, Dr. Tulsi Kotecha will discuss potential side effects in detail.

While both Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) and Semaglutide (Ozempic®) are highly effective for weight loss, Tirzepatide offers dual-action benefits by targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, potentially leading to greater overall weight loss. Additionally, Mounjaro has been shown to produce more significant weight loss in clinical trials compared to Semaglutide.

 Tirzepatide is typically administered as a once-weekly injection, which can be done in the comfort of your home or at our clinic under the guidance of Dr. Kotecha. The injection is simple and painless, with minimal discomfort.

The duration of Tirzepatide treatment will depend on your weight loss goals and how your body responds to the medication. Many patients use Mounjaro for several months to achieve their desired results, but Dr. Kotecha will create a personalized plan to determine the best timeline for your treatment.

Yes, Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) can be combined with other weight loss strategies, such as nutritional counseling, exercise programs, and other non-invasive weight loss treatments. Dr. Tulsi Kotecha will work with you to develop a customized weight loss plan that incorporates Mounjaro alongside other supportive treatments for optimal results.

Patients using Tirzepatide have reported losing between 15-22% of their body weight in clinical trials, making it one of the most effective medications for non-surgical weight loss. Individual results vary based on factors such as adherence to lifestyle changes, dosage, and individual metabolism
