About Tirzepatide
How does it work?
Tirzepatide works by helping the body make more insulin, which lowers blood sugar levels. It also slows down how fast food moves through the stomach—a process called gastric emptying. This can make you feel full longer so you eat less, encouraging weight loss. Altogether, Tirzepatide can control both hunger and blood sugar levels.
What does it treat?
Tirzepatide treats type 2 diabetes by helping to control blood sugar levels. It can also reduce appetite in some people to help with weight loss.
What forms does it come in?
Tirzepatide is an injectable medication taken under the skin 1 time per week. It comes in different doses in vials and pre-filled pens. Patients often start at a low dose and increase the dosage as their bodies adjust.
The pre-filled pen injector form is not available on the Dr. B platform right now.
Tirzepatide vs. Zepbound
Tirzepatide is mainly prescribed to treat type 2 diabetes. It can also help patients lose body weight by controlling their blood sugar levels and reducing their appetite. The brand-name version of this medication, Zepbound, is prescribed as a weight-loss drug for people without diabetes. Both medications make you feel full longer. They’re just prescribed for different purposes.
The brand-name version of this drug, *Zepbound, is not available on the Dr. B platform right now.*

What happens if I miss a dose?
