MOUNJARO VS ZEPBOUND FDA APPROVED?
The brand name medications Mounjaro and Zepbound have the active ingredient, Tirzepatide. Tirzepatide is then the generic version of this revolutionary medication. Tirzepatide is a game changer as its dual mechanism of action acts on two essential hormones – GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists to regulate blood glucose, decrease appetite, and promote feelings of fullness and satiety after eating.
In 2022, the brand name of Tirzepatide, Mounjaro, received FDA clearance for Type 2 diabetes. Doctors commonly used Mounjaro off-label for weight management because of its potent appetite-suppressing and digestive-slowing effects. As such, this medication has been FDA approved for overweight patients looking to lose weight. More specifically, the Food and Drug Administration has recently approved both Mounjaro and Zepbound as a treatment for obesity in conjunction with a diet and exercise regimen.
WHAT CAN TIRZEPATIDE DO FOR ME?
When used as a supplemental tool in conjunction with diet and exercise, our Newport Beach Tirzepatide weight loss program patients can lose a significant amount of weight. The dose and duration of treatment are fully tailored to your individual needs and weight loss goals.
While it may appear easier to simply follow a Tirzepatide dosage chart, the medication must be tailored to your needs and medical history to ensure safety and increase efficacy. In additional to significant weight loss and improved weight management, other health benefits may include a lower A1C, stabilized blood sugar, improved high blood pressure biomarkers, and improved cholesterol and triglyceride levels leading to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease.
AM I A CANDIDATE FOR TIRZEPATIDE?
If you have tried diet and exercise and have experienced difficulty in reaching a healthy BMI the traditional way, tirzepatide in Newport Beach may be well worth considering. While patients who are Type 2 diabetics may reap the most benefit from this medication, the best candidates for Tirzepatide weight loss treatment in Newport Beach are those interested in losing excess weight and open to including a balanced lifestyle, including healthy eating habits and regular physical activity while taking the medication.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have type 1 diabetes or have a personal or family history of medical conditions such as thyroid cancer, or pancreatic conditions among others, tirzepatide may not be right for you. Your medical practitioner at E&G Aesthetic Institute will discuss with you as to whether or not you are a candidate for this or one of our other medically supervised weight-loss treatments during your consultation.

Fortunately, the E&G Aesthetic Institute will provide you the appropriate lab panel necessary for you to be able to have the bloodwork performed that same day at a recommended center that is convenient and close to you.

TIRZEPATIDE AFTERCARE AND SIDE EFFECTS
Your E&G Aesthetic Institute provider will follow up with you to track your progress every step of the way. Tirzepatide injections should be taken only as prescribed by our providers. If you encounter side effects such as nausea or constipation while taking the medication, your E&G Aesthetic Institute provider will provide guidance to ease your symptoms or consider adjusting your Tirzepatide dosage if necessary.
Tirzepatide injections can take several weeks to start working. Everyone is different and individual results may vary. For some, it may take months or longer to see the final results, depending on how much weight you would like to lose. A healthy lifestyle which includes watching your calories and portion sizes and regular physical activity is highly encouraged for long-term results. Together, these habits will lead to the best weight loss results in Newport Beach, CA.
DOES TIRZEPATIDE REALLY WORK?
Double-blind clinical trials have demonstrated that tirzepatide results in rapid, yet sustained weight loss. In studies and clinical trials, test subjects have lost as much as 52 pounds when complementing their weight loss regimen of diet and exercise with the maximum dosage of tirzepatide over a 72 week period. Although individual results will vary from person to person, personal success stories with Tirzepatide weight loss Newport Beach at E&G Aesthetic Institute are promising.
WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF TIRZEPATIDE?
Tirzepatide is well-tolerated by most weight loss patients. While studies have documented reports of rashes, stomach pains, and vomiting the most common side effects with Tirzepatide injections are constipation, nausea, diarrhea, and redness at the Tirzepatide injection site. However, there may be other side effects as well. Your E&G Aesthetic Institute medical provider will advise you of the potential risks at your consultation.
HOW MUCH WEIGHT CAN I LOSE WITH TIRZEPATIDE?
Tirzepatide may result in substantial weight loss depending on the Tirzepatide dose, sticking to to dietary modifications, and how well you follow your aftercare plan. Preliminary trials have shown the maximum Tirzepatide dose has helped patients lose as much as 20.9 percent of their starting weight within the first one to two years when used conjunction with diet and exercise. E&G Aesthetic Institute has many success stories about patients losing weight. However, results are not guaranteed and can be different for each person.
CAN I SWITCH FROM SEMAGLUTIDE TO TIRZEPATIDE?
In short, yes. Should you and your healthcare professional at E&G Aesthetic Institute determine that tirzepatide is a superior choice for you over semaglutide, several aspects need to be taken into account. The first thing to keep in mind is whether you’re a candidate for tirzepatide considering who it’s meant for and what it’s been proven effective to treat.
Tirzepatide is for those patients who are experiencing:
- Obesity, characterized by a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or above, or
- Being overweight with a BMI of 27 or more and having at least one weight-related health issue, like hypertension, elevated cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or cardiovascular disease
If you’re currently utilizing semaglutide, either for weight management or for controlling type 2 diabetes, the transition could potentially be made with ease.
WHY CONSIDER SWITCHING FROM SEMAGLUTIDE TO TIRZEPATIDE?
As mentioned, there are various potential reasons for a patient switching from semaglutide to tirzepatide
- Efficacy for weight loss. Research suggests that tirzepatide leads to more weight loss than semaglutide. In a study comparing the two drugs for weight loss, people lost an average of 5.9% of their body weight in three months with use of tirzepatide, compared to 3.6% with semaglutide. If you’re not losing weight as expected or feel as if you’ve hit a plateau, tirzepatide could be worth a try.
- Side effects. Both tirzepatide and semaglutide have similar side effects like nausea and diarrhea. These side effects usually diminish over time as your body gets used to the medication. Most evidence shows higher rates of these side effects with semaglutide.
- Drug availability. While both drugs are facing shortages due to high demand, tirzepatide may be easier to find in stock right now. As of mid-August 2024, the FDA reports all strengths of tirzepatide as available, while some doses of semaglutide are in limited supply.
- Diabetes. Both medications help with weight loss and managing type 2 diabetes, but tirzepatide may have the upper hand. Study results show that tirzepatide outperforms semaglutide in controlling blood sugar levels at the 40-week mark. If you’re managing your weight alongside diabetes, tirzepatide’s dual action as both a GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist may provide you superior benefits.
HOW MUCH DOES TIRZEPATIDE COST?
The cost of tirzepatide in Orange County is contingent on the dosage, frequency, and duration of Tirzepatide injections, as well as any additional services included. Many patients elect to supplement their medical treatment plan with Vitamin injections as well as our “Fat Burning” Lipotropic injections that boost metabolism and maximize results.
