Body Weight Reduction
What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking medication for weight loss and blood sugar management. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonists. Tirzepatide works by mimicking two hormones in your body: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones play crucial roles in regulating appetite, food intake, and blood sugar levels.
We offer tirzepatide as part of a comprehensive weight management program at MidAmerica Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa. This medication can help you achieve significant weight loss when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
