What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a prescription medication that may be discussed as one possible component of an individualized weight-management plan.
It is not appropriate for every patient. A licensed medical provider must complete an evaluation before determining whether tirzepatide, another prescription medication, or a different service may be appropriate.
Completing a consultation or laboratory testing does not guarantee that medication will be prescribed.
Tirzepatide and Semaglutide Evaluations
Tirzepatide and semaglutide are different prescription medications. Each has its own potential risks, considerations, contraindications, and follow-up requirements.
Your provider can explain the differences between available options based on your individual health history and clinical evaluation.
Neither medication is automatically appropriate for every patient, and no specific result can be guaranteed.
Who May Request a Consultation?
Adults interested in discussing medical weight-management options may schedule an evaluation with our team.
Only a licensed medical provider can determine whether a prescription medication or another service may be appropriate. The decision may be based on factors such as:
• Medical history
• Current medications and supplements
• Relevant laboratory information
• Previous weight-management efforts
• Personal goals
• Other individual considerations
Receiving an evaluation does not guarantee that a patient will qualify for or receive a prescription.
What Does the Evaluation Process Include?
- Initial Consultation
Meet with a member of our medical team to discuss your health history, current medications, concerns, and weight-management goals.
- Individual Evaluation
Your provider may recommend laboratory testing, body-composition measurements, or additional medical information when appropriate.
- Review of Available Options
Your provider will review your information and discuss options that may be appropriate based on the evaluation.
- Follow-Up Care
When a treatment or service is recommended, follow-up appointments may be scheduled to review your experience and determine whether adjustments are appropriate.
Personalized Weight-Management Care
Every patient is different. Recommendations depend on your individual health history, clinical findings, relevant testing, and provider judgment.
Your provider may also discuss nutrition, physical activity, daily routines, and other lifestyle considerations as part of your individualized plan.
Do not begin, stop, combine, or change prescription medications, supplements, injections, or wellness services without speaking with an appropriate healthcare provider.
Other Wellness Services
The Wellness Lab offers additional wellness services that require their own evaluations and may not be appropriate for every individual.
Receiving one service does not mean that another service should be added. Your medical provider will determine whether any additional recommendation is appropriate based on your individual evaluation.
No combination of services is guaranteed to produce a specific result.
Potential Risks and Considerations
Prescription medications may have potential risks, side effects, interactions, and contraindications.
Provide your medical team with complete and accurate information about:
• Your medical history
• Current prescription medications
• Over-the-counter medications
• Vitamins and supplements
• Allergies
• Previous medication reactions
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding status, when applicable
Your provider will review relevant considerations and answer your questions before making a recommendation.
