Tirzepatide Injections in San Antonio, TX

Botox® is one of the most popular treatments for softening lines on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Treatments are quick, require little to no downtime, and results look natural when placed by experienced injectors.

What Is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection in the incretin mimetic class of medications. It mimics two gut hormones – GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) – both of which regulate appetite and blood sugar. By targeting both pathways at the same time, Tirzepatide provides enhanced results compared to GLP-1 treatments alone.

Mounjaro® is the FDA approved brand name for Tirzepatide, originally indicated for type 2 diabetes. Compounded Tirzepatide contains the same active ingredient but is prepared by licensed compounding pharmacies for use in medical weight management programs.

How Tirzepatide Works

Tirzepatide works by:

  • Slowing digestion, helping you feel full longer
  • Reducing appetite and cravings
  • Improving insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control
  • Supporting sustainable fat loss over time

The combined GLP-1 and GIP effects make Tirzepatide one of the most effective weight loss medications available today.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is recommended for adults struggling with obesity or weight-related health concerns such as prediabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure. It is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain medical conditions. A personalized consultation is required to determine eligibility and dosing.

What to Expect During Treatment

After your consultation, you’ll begin a weekly injection plan that fits your health needs and goals. Injections can be administered in-office or at home after proper instruction. Many clients notice reduced appetite within the first few weeks, with progressive weight loss continuing over several months.

How Tirzepatide Differs From Other Injections

Compared to Semaglutide (the active ingredient in Ozempic® and Wegovy®), Tirzepatide offers dual action by combining both GLP-1 and GIP receptor stimulation. This enhanced mechanism often produces greater weight loss results and improved blood sugar control. While Mounjaro® is the brand name version, compounded Tirzepatide provides a more accessible alternative with the same active benefits.

Tirzepatide vs. Zepbound®

Zepbound® is the FDA-approved brand name for tirzepatide specifically indicated for chronic weight management. It contains the same active ingredient as Mounjaro® but is dosed and approved for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight plus a related health condition. Compounded tirzepatide and other formulations work the same way, targeting both GLP-1 and GIP receptors to reduce appetite and improve metabolism, but Zepbound® carries the formal FDA approval for weight management.

Tirzepatide vs. Mounjaro®

Tirzepatide is the active ingredient found in Mounjaro®, a brand-name medication FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes management. While it also leads to significant weight loss, its approval is for blood sugar control. Mounjaro® and compounded tirzepatide share the same mechanism — dual action on GLP-1 and GIP receptors to regulate appetite and metabolism. Compounded tirzepatide can be prescribed specifically for weight loss, offering clients access to the same active therapy outside of the brand-name diabetes indication.
