Tirzepatide in Los Angeles for Safe Weight Loss

PHYSICIAN GUIDED WEIGHT LOSS WITH TIRZEPATIDE IN LOS ANGELES

In addition to our renowned weight loss program and Semaglutide/Ozempic offerings, ReNu Med Lounge now offers Tirzepatide (aka Mounjaro), a safe and effective weight loss drug. This medication offers the promise of dramatic weight loss results and helps patients combat obesity. Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection that helps the pounds melt away.

WHAT IS TIRZEPATIDE?

Tirzepatide is a once weekly injection used to treat Type II Diabetes, shown to help with substantial weight loss. Tirzepatide works on the GIP and GLP-1 pathways to help regulate sugar, but also decreasing appetite and gastric emptying time. This medication is a powerful appetite suppressant that signals your brain to increase your body’s metabolism and help you feel fuller longer. It works in your body the same way as naturally occuring GLP-1 hormones.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, indigestion and stomach pain.

HOW IS TIRZEPATIDE ADMINISTERED?

Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is an injectable medication. You can administer the drug at home using a syringe or pre-filled dosing pin, or you can come in weekly and Dr. Sylvia can administer the shot for you. The typical injection site is the abdomen using tiny insulin syringes. Other sites that are sometimes used for injections include the upper arm or upper thigh.

PRODUCT SAFETY

Tirzepatide has been found to be safe for supervised weight loss. If you should experience any of the following adverse events, contact your provider:

Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea

Increasing intake of the medication is the most common reason for adverse events. As a result, it is recommended that patients increase their dose gradually.

IS TIRZEPATIDE DIFFERENT FROM OZEMPIC AND WEGOVY?

Tirazepatide is unique as it targets both the GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Ozempic only targets the GLP-1 receptor agonist.

YOUR CONSULTATION

Before getting started with Tirzepatide in Los Angeles, you will need to take part in an initial consultation with Dr. Sylvia and our team of ReNu experts to determine if you’re a candidate for the treatment and to establish a medication plan.
