Semaglutide and tirzepatide are now available at our Nashville compounding pharmacy and can be a great help for those needing a little extra boost in managing their weight, especially if you have a preexisting condition such as insulin resistance, which makes losing weight even more difficult. Want to learn more about how these medications work and how to get them? Here is what you need to know about GLP-1 injections for weight loss:
Semaglutide vs. Tirzepatide: What’s the difference?
Both of these drugs are classified as GLP-1 or glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, which copy the function of a hormone that triggers the release of insulin. Not only does this help with your metabolism but also impacts appetite control and can even suppress your appetite so that you eat less. When combined with eating healthy, exercising, and other habits of a healthy lifestyle, these GLP-1 medications can help you manage your weight more effectively. So what is the difference between semaglutide and tirzepatide? While results from both drugs are beneficial, tirzepatide is a dual agonist that also mimics the GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) hormone, potentially giving some people more success in losing weight.
How to Get GLP-1 Injections in Nashville TN
Are you interested in an Ozempic or Wegovy alternative but are a little overwhelmed with how to get started? Let us help you jumpstart your weight loss journey! The process starts with a telehealth consult where we will discuss your goals, evaluate your medical history, and talk you through the GLP-1 medication options. We work with healthcare professionals who can prescribe a compounded GLP-1 injection, and once we have decided on an initial dose, our compounding pharmacists will make a formula just for you. We typically monitor the patient through a titration phase, where small dosing adjustments can be made to ensure maximum benefit. You will receive a vial that lasts about 8 weeks on average, and after that, we can look at your progress and discuss the possibility of a maintenance dose.
