• Body Mass Index (BMI): Tirzepatide is typically recommended for people with a BMI of 30 or higher (classified as obese) or those with a BMI of 27 or higher (classified as overweight) who also have weight-related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol.
• Medical History: Your medical history may affect your suitability for this treatment. Our team will review your health records and conduct any necessary tests to make sure tirzepatide is safe for you.
• Contraindications: Certain contraindications, such as medullary thyroid carcinoma,endocrine neoplasia syndrome, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or known allergies to tirzepatide, will prevent you from using this medication. Our team will discuss any potential risks and side effects so you fully understand the treatment before proceeding.

Commitment to a Comprehensive Plan: Medications like tirzepatide are most effective when combined with lifestyle modifications. You should be willing to engage in a comprehensive treatment plan that includes healthy eating, regular physical activity and ongoing medical supervision.

Side Effects From Using Tirzepatide

Like any medication, there are potential side effects associated with tirzepatide. People who take tirzepatide may experience:

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Constipation

Gastrointestinal side effects like these are most common. They are most likely to occur at the start of treatment, when the dose is being increased, and they usually decrease over the first few months as your body gets accustomed to the medication. Increasing the dose slowly may help to reduce these side effects.

Your provider will discuss less common side effects during your consultation. We will closely monitor your response to the medication so we can make adjustments to your treatment plan.
