Tirzepatide Q&A
How does tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide is a novel injectable medication for weight management and similar purposes. As the active ingredient in Mounjaro™, tirzepatide works in your gut, liver, and pancreas to balance your hormones and lower your blood sugar.
High blood sugar can lead to an array of possible health problems. Vision loss, neuropathy, and ulcers that never heal are among the top complications of elevated blood sugar, which is one of the main features of diabetes.
Tirzepatide injections increase the production of the hormone insulin from your pancreas, which helps facilitate the transfer of blood sugar into your cells, which use it as energy. Tirzepatide also slows down your rate of digestion, making you feel less hungry throughout each day.
How can Tirzepatide improve my health and wellness?
At Forever Slim Medical Weight Loss, Dr. Moleski prescribes tirzepatide for two primary purposes. Alongside the prescription, he recommends a healthy diet and lifestyle changes to help with reaching your goals:
Diabetes management
Tirzepatide is FDA-approved as a treatment for type 2 diabetes. While the injections can’t treat type 1 or gestational diabetes, they can help your body use insulin for its intended purpose while lowering your blood sugar to prevent diabetic complications.
Weight loss
Medications that contain tirzepatide are on the fast track for FDA approval. These injections help you manage your weight by reducing your appetite and helping your body process sugar more efficiently. Dr. Moleski can help you compare tirzepatide with similar injections to decide which is right for you.
What should I expect while taking Tirzepatide?
During your initial consultation with Dr. Moleski, he reviews your health before developing your individualized weight management plan. This involves healthy lifestyle changes like nutritional changes and increased exercise alongside any recommended injectable.
You place your shots in areas like your thighs, upper arms, or stomach, taking care to change locations with every dose. The doses vary from person to person, as do the number of doses you need to take each day or week.

Why Are Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) And Semaglutide (Wegovy) So Effective?
- Blood Sugar Control: GLP-1 receptor agonists like Tirzepatide and Semaglutide enhance insulin secretion from the pancreas and reduce the production of glucagon (a hormone that raises blood sugar levels). This dual action helps to stabilize blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes.
- Weight Loss: One of the notable effects of GLP-1 receptor agonists is their ability to promote weight loss. They work by slowing down stomach emptying, making you feel fuller for longer, and reducing overall food intake. This effect can be particularly beneficial for individuals with obesity or those struggling with weight management.
- Appetite Regulation: GLP-1 receptor agonists have an impact on the brain’s appetite-regulating centers, leading to decreased hunger and increased feelings of satiety. This can result in reduced food cravings and a better ability to control calorie intake.
- Cardiovascular Benefits: Some GLP-1 receptor agonists, including Semaglutide, have been shown to have cardiovascular benefits. They can improve cardiovascular outcomes by reducing the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and other cardiovascular events in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
- Metabolic Effects: These drugs can have positive effects on various metabolic parameters, such as improving lipid profiles (reducing triglycerides and increasing HDL cholesterol) and reducing blood pressure.
