Tirzepatide Treatment

Price: Starting at $375

Tirzepatide is a groundbreaking medication approved for weight management in individuals with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related condition. This innovative treatment works by mimicking two key hormones involved in appetite regulation and glucose control: GLP-1 and GIP.

Health Benefits of Tirzepatide:

  • Effective Weight Loss: Clinical studies have shown that Tirzepatide can lead to an average weight loss of up to 22.5% of body weight, with about a third of participants achieving even greater results.
  • Appetite Suppression: By affecting hormones that control hunger, Tirzepatide reduces appetite, helping you consume fewer calories without the discomfort of constant hunger.
  • Improved Glucose Control: Ideal for individuals with type 2 diabetes, it enhances insulin sensitivity and lowers blood sugar levels.
  • Enhanced Metabolic Health: Beyond weight loss, Tirzepatide has shown benefits in reducing risk factors for several diseases, including cardiovascular conditions.

Semaglutide Treatment

Price: $325

Semaglutide is an effective medication designed for weight management, working by mimicking the hormone GLP-1 that naturally regulates appetite. This action helps to significantly reduce hunger and increase satiety after meals, leading to a decrease in overall calorie intake.

Health Benefits of Semaglutide:

  • Substantial Weight Reduction: Patients often experience an average weight loss of 15% from their initial body weight.
  • Control Over Eating: It effectively helps manage dietary intake by reducing cravings and controlling portion sizes.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Semaglutide is also used to improve glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, offering a dual benefit for those seeking weight loss and diabetes management.
  • Cardiovascular Improvements: Studies suggest that it can also improve cardiovascular outcomes in patients at risk.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Revive Wellness, all our weight loss consultations are conducted virtually, allowing you to receive personalized care from the comfort of your own home. During these consultations, we’ll discuss the best medication options for your weight loss goals. We primarily use Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, which are self-administered injections taken once a week. These medications are dispensed by a compounding pharmacy and delivered directly to your home via UPS or FedEx, packaged on ice to maintain their efficacy as they need to be kept refrigerated.

The prices for our medical weight loss medications are charged per prescription, which includes both the cost of the medication and the consultation services. Most of our clients on Tirzepatide start at a low dose and typically do not require a dose increase beyond the first adjustment. However, patients using Semaglutide may need dose adjustments every four weeks or more, up to the maximum dose available, depending on their individual response to the treatment.

Semaglutide is a medication that mimics the hormone GLP-1, which is involved in regulating appetite and calorie intake. This medication has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in helping individuals achieve significant weight loss.

Key Benefits:

  • Appetite Control: Reduces feelings of hunger which helps decrease calorie intake.
  • Weight Reduction: Clinical studies have shown significant weight loss, with some patients losing up to 15% of their body weight.
  • Improved Satiety: Increases feelings of fullness after meals, helping to prevent overeating.
  • Metabolic Benefits: Beyond weight loss, it offers potential improvements in overall metabolic health.

Tirzepatide is a newer medication that combines the actions of GLP-1 and GIP hormones, enhancing its effectiveness in weight management. It is designed to not only help with weight loss but also to improve blood sugar levels, which is beneficial for patients with type 2 diabetes.

Key Effects:

  • Dual Hormone Action: Targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, which helps to significantly reduce appetite and enhance weight loss.
  • High Weight Loss Efficacy: In clinical trials, patients have reported losing up to 22.5% of their initial body weight.
  • Blood Sugar Regulation: Helps to stabilize blood sugar levels, making it a suitable option for diabetics.
  • Reduced Risk of Cardiovascular Issues: Preliminary studies suggest potential benefits in reducing cardiovascular risk factors.

GLP-1 agonist medications are primarily prescribed for patients with a BMI of 30 or higher, or a BMI of 27 or higher with additional medical conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol. Use outside these guidelines is considered off-label and not FDA-approved, carrying significant risk. Specific contraindications include:

  • Personal or Family History of Thyroid C-Cell Tumors: Patients with a personal or family history of Medullary Thyroid Carcinoma (MTC) or Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN-2) should avoid these medications due to the potential risk of thyroid tumors.
  • Pregnancy: These medications should not be used by those who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant as they may cause fetal harm. It is advised to discontinue use at least 2 months before a planned pregnancy.
  • History of Pancreatitis: Individuals with a history of pancreatitis or conditions that increase the likelihood of pancreatitis should avoid these treatments due to the risk of severe pancreatitis.
  • Gallbladder Disease: While not an absolute contraindication, use of these medications has been linked to an increased risk of gallstones and gallbladder inflammation.
  • Kidney Disease: Patients with kidney disease or those on dialysis should avoid these medications, as there have been reports of acute kidney injury and worsening of chronic kidney failure associated with their use.

Patients should be aware of symptoms that might indicate serious complications, such as a mass in the neck, elevated calcitonin levels, difficulty swallowing (dysphagia), difficulty breathing (dyspnea), persistent hoarseness, and other related symptoms. Immediate medical evaluation is crucial if any of these signs appear.
