Tirzepatide Injections in San Antonio, TX
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?
What to Expect During Treatment
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.
