Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in the brand medications Zepbound® and Mounjaro®. Tirzepatide can be used to help treat type 2 diabetes, as well as helping people with weight management. Here at Strut Health, we offer oral Tirzepatide lozenges that dissolve in the mouth. These may be a good fit for people who can't use the injection form of Tirzepatide.
Tirzepatide is a medication that works by mimicking the GLP-1 and GIP hormones in your body. By mimicking GLP-1 and GIP, it can help deliver certain effects including increased insulin release, less glucagon release, slowing how fast food can leave your stomach, and making you feel less hungry. For people who are trying to lose weight, these effects may combine to help them eat fewer calories and ultimately lose extra weight.
Compounded oral lozenge Tirzepatide: When using a Tirzepatide lozenge, you will likely be instructed to use one every day, once a day, at approximately the same time. This is a sublingual lozenge, so you will not swallow the lozenge, but let it slowly dissolve under your tongue to help with the absorption of the medication. It is also important to know that you will want to combine your Tirzepatide treatment with increased physical activity and a healthy reduced-calorie diet for the best results.
Once Tirzepatide is in your system, you may start feeling the effects of being less hungry, or feeling like your food is staying in your stomach for longer. However, these effects may take a little longer for some people to feel. If you are using Tirzepatide for weight loss, be patient, since even if the medication is helping you consume fewer calories, it may take many weeks or months to physically see changes.
For oral Tirzepatide lozenges, you will be using the lozenges once daily. Try to sync your dosage up with a task that you always perform (like eating breakfast), so that you remember to use them daily.
Before starting Tirzepatide, you should let your doctor know about any weight-related diseases or problems you are currently experiencing (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes). You should also let your doctor know about any gastrointestinal issues or diseases you are dealing with, since Tirzepatide may also come along with gastrointestinal side effects. Let your doctor know about a history of thyroid cancer, glandular tumors, diabetic ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, gallbladder disease, kidney disease, mood disorders, or diabetic eye problems.
While you are taking Tirzepatide, you may want to avoid other medications in the same class of drugs (GLP-1 agonists). Your doctor may also ask about other medications that you are using that can decrease your blood glucose levels, like diabetes medications. You may want to avoid high-fat foods, foods with lots of added sugar, trans and saturated fats, processed carbohydrates, and foods with high sodium. Not only may these foods hinder your weight loss and health goals, but they may bring more digestive discomfort while you are using Tirzepatide.
The most common side effects of Tirzepatide involve your digestion and gastrointestinal tract. Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, dyspepsia, abdominal pain, fatigue, injection site reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, burping, hair loss, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) may occur. Other common side effects may include headache, dizziness, tiredness, and low blood sugar levels in people who have diabetes. For a full list of the possible side effects of Tirzepatide, including the less common but more serious side effects, look at the patient safety information on our website and the Tirzepatide package information.
