Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide
Powerful Medical Weight Management With Dual-Hormone Support.
Tirzepatide is a prescription medication that works on two naturally occurring hormone pathways involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control. By targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide offers an additional approach to medically supervised weight management.
At Pique Medical, tirzepatide is prescribed as part of a personalized weight management program designed to help you lose weight safely while building sustainable habits for long-term success.
Potential Benefits
Tirzepatide may help support:
✓ Significant weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes
✓ Reduced appetite
✓ Fewer food cravings
✓ Increased fullness
✓ Better portion control
✓ Improved metabolic health
✓ Better blood sugar regulation
✓ Increased confidence and quality of life
How It Works
Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors—two hormone systems involved in appetite regulation, insulin release, and satiety.
Many patients notice reduced hunger, improved control around food, and increased satisfaction after smaller meals.
As with all weight management medications, tirzepatide works best when paired with healthy nutrition, regular physical activity, strength training, and adequate protein intake.

Tirzepatide may be appropriate for adults who:
Have excess body weight
Have struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
Experience persistent hunger or cravings
Are looking for medical support with long-term weight management
Are motivated to make sustainable lifestyle changes
Your provider will determine whether tirzepatide is appropriate based on your medical history and current medications.
What to Expect
Treatment begins with a low dose and is gradually increased as tolerated.
Most patients notice appetite suppression early in treatment, while weight loss occurs gradually over time. Individual responses vary, and your provider will tailor dosing based on your progress and tolerability.

Patients often achieve the best results by:
✓ Prioritizing protein intake
✓ Staying hydrated
✓ Strength training 2–4 times per week
✓ Walking daily
✓ Eating balanced meals

✓ Following their prescribed treatment plan
Possible Side Effects
The most common side effects include:
Nausea
Constipation
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Heartburn
Fatigue
Decreased appetite
Abdominal discomfort
These effects are usually temporary and often improve as treatment continues.
Contact your provider promptly if side effects become severe or persistent.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between tirzepatide and semaglutide?
Both medications help regulate appetite and support weight management. Tirzepatide works on two hormone pathways (GLP-1 and GIP), while semaglutide works on the GLP-1 pathway alone. Your provider will recommend the option that best fits your health history and goals.
Will I need to stay on this medication forever?
Not necessarily. Some patients continue long-term treatment, while others transition to a maintenance strategy after reaching their goals. Your provider will help develop a plan tailored to your needs.
Can I exercise while taking tirzepatide?
Yes. In fact, regular exercise—especially resistance training—is encouraged to help preserve lean muscle mass and support long-term metabolic health.
