Tirzepatide works through its dual action on the GIP and GLP-1 receptors.

These actions include:

• Stimulating the release of insulin from the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels (glucose-dependent insulinotropic effect).
  
• Reducing the release of glucagon, which helps lower blood sugar levels.
  
• Slowing down stomach emptying, which can help control appetite and reduce food intake.
  
• Promoting a sense of fullness after meals.
  
  

Overall, tirzepatide helps lower blood sugar levels and supports weight management in individuals with type 2 diabetes by regulating appetite and improving insulin response.

The use of tirzepatide may lead to side effects, although not everyone will experience them.

Common side effects may include:

• Upset stomach
  
• Gas
  
• Constipation
  
• Diarrhea
  
• Loss of appetite
  
  

More severe side effects are less common but may include:

• Severe stomach pain
  
• Vomiting
  
• Hives
  
• Difficulty breathing
  
• Changes in heartbeat
  
• Fever
  
• Skin rash
  
• Heartburn
  
• Swelling
  
  

If you experience any unusual or severe side effects or have concerns about them, consult your healthcare provider.

Before starting treatment with tirzepatide, inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, allergies, or other medications you are taking. This includes prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, and dietary supplements, as they may interact with tirzepatide.

Specifically, tell your healthcare provider if you have a history of:

• Pancreatitis or gallbladder disease
  
• Thyroid problems
  
• Kidney problems
  
• Stomach or intestinal problems
  
  

Tell your provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, as the use of tirzepatide during pregnancy and lactation should be discussed to assess potential risks and benefits.

The dosing of tirzepatide may vary depending on your individual needs and your healthcare provider's guidance. Typically, tirzepatide is administered as a subcutaneous injection once a week.

Your healthcare provider will determine the initial dose and any dose adjustments based on your response and the goal of achieving optimal blood sugar control and weight management.

Do not discontinue or change your tirzepatide dosage without consulting your health care provider.

Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you experience any side effects or have concerns while taking the medication.

Tirzepatide is currently only available with a prescription. A licensed healthcare provider must authorize the use of this medication.

Sesame's weight loss program subscription pricing starts at just $89 per month for patients who do not require medication or will purchase their own medication from their preferred pharmacy. This is a good option for eligible Sesame patients who have insurance coverage for name-brand GLP-1 medications, such as Wegovy, Zepbound or Saxenda.

It's important to note that brand-name GLP-1 medications like Wegovy, Zepbound or Saxenda can be expensive without insurance coverage, typically ranging between $950 to $1,600 per month out-of-pocket. If you are insured, your provider can assist with insurance pre-authorization paperwork to help reduce the cost of your medication.

Sesame also offers a weight loss program subscription that includes medication for just $249 per month. This option includes the price of pre-measured, high-quality injectable compounded semaglutide at cost for those who are prescribed it, along with free home delivery.

Note that providers on Sesame set their own prices, which means that some providers may offer the service at a higher price.

Certain GLP-1 therapies such as semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic, Rybelsus, and Wegovy), liraglutide (the active ingredient in Saxenda and Victoza), and tirzepatide (the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound) may increase the likelihood of developing thyroid gland tumors, including MTC, a type of thyroid cancer. This conclusion is based on studies where laboratory animals given semaglutide, liraglutide, tirzepatide and other GLP-1 medications developed tumors. However, it is not yet confirmed if these medications pose the same risk to humans. You can find additional information about the risks of FDA-approved medications that contain semaglutide here.

It’s important to inform your doctor if you or any family member has ever had MTC or MEN. If this is the case, your doctor will likely advise against taking GLP-1 medications.

If you are prescribed a GLP-1 medication and exhibit any of the following symptoms, you should contact your provider immediately:

• A lump or swelling in the neck
  
• Hoarseness
  
• Difficulty swallowing
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Severe abdominal pain
  
  

Before taking GLP-1 medications, you should also discuss the following with your provider:

Allergies: Inform your doctor and pharmacist of any allergies you have to semaglutide (including under brand names Ozempic, Rybelsus, Wegovy) or similar medications such as tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound), dulaglutide (Trulicity), exenatide (Bydureon BCise, Byetta), liraglutide (Saxenda, Victoza, or in Xultophy) and lixisenatide (Adlyxin, or in Soliqua).

Personal and family medical history: Be sure to disclose if you have a history of medical conditions like pancreatitis, diabetic retinopathy, gallbladder disease or kidney disease. Inform your doctor about recent episodes of diarrhea, nausea, vomiting or any inability to consume liquids, which could lead to dehydration.

Current medications and supplements: Provide a comprehensive list of all medicines and supplements you are currently taking, including prescription and nonprescription medicines, vitamins, nutritional supplements, and herbal products. This is crucial as GLP-1 medications can alter how your body absorbs oral medications.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant soon.

Surgical procedures: In the event of surgery, including dental procedures, inform the medical or dental professional that you are on GLP-1 medication.

It's essential to thoroughly discuss these risks with your healthcare provider and consider your personal and family medical history when deciding whether to use these medications. Your doctor can provide guidance on the best course of action based on your specific health situation.
