Tirzepatide FAQs
What does Tirzepatide do to your body?
Tirzepatide injections contain a formula of a single molecule for activating the body's GIP and GLP-1 receptors. GLP-1 and GIP are natural incretin hormones. Both receptors exist in areas of the human brain responsible for appetite regulation. In addition, Tirzepatide decreases food intake and modulates fat utilization.
Who cannot take Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is not suitable for people with a personal or family history of medullary thyroid carcinoma. Patients with a history of MEN 2 (multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2) should also avoid Tirzepatide.
Can you drink alcohol with Tirzepatide?
You should avoid drinking alcohol while taking Tirzepatide. If you have any questions or concerns about this, you can speak with the experts at Revenge MD during your weight loss consultation.
