Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are two of the most talked about weight loss therapies in 2023. They have been deemed the “miracle drug” for weight management, working to combat insulin resistance. They help reduce blood sugar while slowing down how quickly food leaves your stomach (delayed gastric emptying).

Function of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide:

  • Delay in gastric (stomach) emptying (feeling of fullness and satisfaction with smaller meals)

  • Slows intestinal motility

  • Improves glycemic control and lowers blood glucose (blood sugar) levels 

  • Stimulates insulin secretion by pancreas

  • Reduces appetite and food cravings

The program is used for chronic weight management in adults with a BMI of at least 30 kg/m². Additional consideration is given to patients with a BMI of 25-29 kg/m² who have at least one weight-related co-morbidity. These co-morbidities include but are not limited to: type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, glucose intolerance, hypertension, arthritis, sleep apnea.

Dosing is individualized and will be determined based on specific patient goals and outcomes. Gradual increase in dosing is used to combat the associated gastrointestinal side effects. 

*** Caution is exercised with patients with the following: history of pancreatitis, hypoglycemia, acute kidney injury, diabetic retinopathy, tachycardia.

Boxed warning/contraindications:

  • Patients with a personal or family history of thyroid cancer

  • Patients with multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome 

Optimization of results:

  • Manage stress

  • Focus on good sleep/rest Increase water intake

  • Improve nutrition, watching caloric and macro intake

  • Exercise, including weight lifting. 

Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are medications that should be monitored and prescribed appropriately. As with any medication, there are subsequent risks that at times can outweigh the risks. At The Beaumont Med Spa, we offer consultation with comprehensive lab analysis prior to initiating injections to identify and manage qualifying patients.
