Commonly asked questions:

What is Mounjaro and compounded tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a remarkable breakthrough in medical science - a once-weekly treatment that targets the body's natural hormone receptors for regulating appetite. Compounded tirzepatide is a customized formula of the drug which has the same active ingredient as the brand name Mounjaro®. By activating both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors in the brain, tirzepatide effectively reduces appetite and enhances your body's ability to use fat.

Administered as a weekly injection, Tirzapetide is conveniently delivered underneath your skin in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Dose options range from 2.5mg to 15mg, as recommended by medical review.

How long will I use compounded tirzepatide?

The length of each protocol varies with your weight loss goals and your body's response to the medication. You will be on the drug for a minimum of three months, but you could remain on the protocol until you reach your goal weight or maintain it without intensive lifestyle intervention or deprivation. Some people end up using compounded tirzepatide.

What are the side effects of compounded tirzepatide?

Common side effects of this medication may include swelling, redness, and itching at the injection site, as well as tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, diarrhea, or constipation. Many people who use this medication do not experience serious side effects.

While tirzepatide itself typically does not cause low blood sugar, it may occur when taken with other diabetes medications. It is important to discuss this during your medical review. Certain factors like excessive alcohol consumption, inadequate calorie intake, or intense exercise can also lead to low blood sugar.

While rare, it is possible to have a serious allergic reaction to this drug. Seek medical help immediately if you notice symptoms such as rash, itching, swelling (especially of the face, tongue, or throat), severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.

I'm not diabetic, is compounded tirzepatide for weight loss still an option for me?

If you are deemed a good fit during your medical review, our office works with trusted compounding pharmacies to bring clients access to compounded tirzepatide. This means that even if you aren't diabetic but would benefit from compounded tirzepatide for weight management, you will have access to the medication.

How much weight will I lose?

In studies of the brand name drug Tripeptide, the average weight loss achieved was 25 lbs over a period of 40 and 52 weeks. It was found that higher doses of Trizepatide resulted in greater weight loss in clinical trials, but it is worth noting that these higher doses can also lead to more frequent stomach-related side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite. However, these side effects are typically temporary and not experienced by all patients.

Do I have to use compounded tirzepatide long-term?

The duration of the weight-loss medication varies from person to person, but for most individuals, it is a long-term commitment. Similar to treating chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension, obesity is not cured but controlled. This means that if the medication is effective, it is likely to be taken long term. Stopping the medication can result in increased hunger and weight regain.

Is it safe to use compounded tirzepatide for weight loss?

Using compounded tirzepatide through a reliable licensed pharmacy like we use at Slim Again is a safe way to lose weight. Compounded versions of drugs can be beneficial for patients with specific dosage needs or off-label uses.

Compounding pharmacies, which fill customized orders, must use pharmaceutical-grade ingredients in FDA-registered facilities. While compounding pharmacies are allowed to produce duplicate drugs in certain circumstances, they must adhere to FDA guidelines and quality standards.
