Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro, Once Weekly Weight Loss Injection Now Available!

Tirzepatide, the active ingredient in Mounjaro.Elevation Medical is now offering tirzepatide in our weight loss clinics. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Mounjaro, a FDA-approved medication for the treatment of diabetes. Tirzepatide is a peptide that is used off-label as a weekly diet injection until it is expected to receive FDA approval for weight loss later in 2023 or 2024.  Phase III clinical studies demonstrate a 50% increase in bodyweight reduction in tirzepatide vs. semaglutide in a 52-week period, with similar side effects.  

  • As the first to be a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor co-agonist, tirzepatide is stronger in controlling blood sugar levels and acts as a potent appetite suppressant by reducing feelings of hunger while increasing satiety even with reduced food intake.  
  • Phase III studies seeking FDA approval for weight loss demonstrate a tirzepatide 22.5% reduction in body weight compared to a 15% bodyweight reduction by that of semaglutide, with comparable side effects.
  • Patients can choose to receive tirzepatide for only 1 week tirzepatide 2.5mg as a trial for $130. Please be advised that tirzepatide is dose-dependent upon the duration of use; meaning the longer you use it, the higher your dose may be, up to 15mg/week, the more effective tirzepatide can be. However, most patients tend to stay at or below 10mg.
    Tirzepetide Weekly Peptide Diet Shots
