Tirzepatide (Zepbound) - A New FDA-approved Treatment for Weight Loss. Complete Drug Review.

[@CathyLombardo-j6s]

I had almost no side effects and have lost over 50 lbs to date , a year

[@maggiemae6867]

Did you eat healthier right away and maybe that's why you didn't have any side effects? I'm getting ready to start this and I'm a little worried about the side effects. I don't eat much already and not a lot of sugar. Did you start slow and go higher in dose??

[@SiohvanSings]

It just came out in December though, so how have you been on it for a year?

[@pebbles1340]

Congratulations!

[@AM-yt6oz]

@@maggiemae6867 How have you done on Zepbound? I see your post was two months ago. I’m a bit mixed on taking it.

[@TheVOID-123DN]

Basically it just makes you not hungry and helps you burn fat quicker?

[@micheleparker7817]

I've been on Mounjaro for 3 months (just starting my 4th month). No side effects and have lost nearly 30 pounds. Very frustrated about the cost involved! I'm on Medicare and I'm NOT diabetic; therefore, I have to pay full price for the prescription. I just wish Eli Lilly would help out with some kind of co-pay!!! My blood pressure is down, I'm not longer officially "obese" and on the way to being a much healthier person!!!

[@susie2251]

Eli Lilly DOES help out. Go to their website immediately and sign up for savings card. It brings the price down from $1200 to $550. You might have to switch to brand Zepbound which is exactly the same thing as Mounjaro. Zepbound is the one for obesity.

[@hmf5328]

does that mean you are taking it continuously once a week over several months? I am interested in knowing for how long I can take this before I take a break

[@CaseyKCRichards]

Retatrutide is now also available. Contact me for details.

You are welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed my video!

Thank you!! Very informative. I didn't even know about the zepbound Savings program. I'm definitely going into this more informed.

The medication is just too expensive🤨

[@Calventius]

Good briefing.

[@carololiver9283]

Great information thank you!

[@Kaye-y3l]

My sister is taking this medicine - she is down about 15 lbs in 2 months BUT most of the time she is on the sofa SICK... She feels so bad she can't do anything for 3 to 4 days after the injection then she's OK, injects next and bam she feels awful for 3 to 4 days. How can she overcome this? Please help...

[@JobjobJob-f6e]

A lot of water daily. Lifting weight and eating clean

[@jannikoley9627]

Try doing 2 shots per week instead of all at once. Sunday and Wednesday works great for me as long as they are 3 days apart

[@shabrew2033]

What do you mean two shots per week.

[@LoveGodFirst101]

@@shabrew2033I think she meant split into two shots from one syringe.

[@infersage1329]

what happens if you get constipated? Can you take over the counter constipation medication to help?

[@DejaVu-iy8hh]

What about Statins for cholesterol? Does it interact with that? Or maybe even assist with regulating LDL so maybe you don’t need them anymore?

[@thedivaofdivas5762]

From my understanding it doesn’t interact with statin drugs. As far as, lowering LDL, yes it can due to wt loss. Provided terzepatide is causing a pt to decrease their intake of food.

[@MothersLovingArmsNursery]

what if I no longer have a thyroid?

[@jc10907Sealy]

I no longer have a thyroid. Mine was destroyed by radiation ablation after Graves’ disease. My endocrinologist did prescribe me Zepbound did not see any reason not to.

[@jenpw1525]

I tried Saxenda and had horrible anxiety attacks. My anxiety is linked to my hormones. Do you think Tirzepatide would work better for me?

[@brendanorton5732]

I am in 2.5 of Zepbound. It is my 3rd week and haven’t noticed much of a difference in my appetite or cravings. Is that normal at this dose? I had been on Wegovy for only one month at the starting dose and wasn’t hungry or having any cravings. I couldn’t continue the Wegovy due to the supply issue. Also, thank you for this very informative video.

[@thepharmeztutor716]

The 2.5 mg dose of Zepbound is for treatment initiation and not for weight loss management. You will probably need to titrate the dose up to at least 5 mg to achieve a response. It’s always best to ask these questions to your prescribing doctor to be sure in your specific case.

[@brendanorton5732]

@@thepharmeztutor716 thank you so much for your response and this excellent video ☺️

[@moniqueb387]

Same for me. I just finished my first month and haven't experienced any wl or side effects really besides fatigue and headache. I just moved up to 5mg. After my first week still nothing. Trying to remain hopeful but for this price I better see something soon.

[@catherinele1580]

I didnt lose much either, maybe 1 or 2 lbs., im on my 7th week

What happens if someone who is not obese takes Tirzepatide?

[@lisawunder4177]

Side affects are absolutely the worst not sure I can do this been I. Bed for 3 days

[@Laura-w1s3r]

Hi why is that if you don't mind me asking ?? My stomach started hurting been on day 3 on abdominal pain

[@edsmale]

If your not drinking enough water, or eating too much, that will happen

[@sarahfoster5648]

It’s amazing- lost 2 stone in 1.5 months

[@Sonia-cs2vw]

Side effects are BRUTAL!

[@valm124]

What were your symptoms like? Do you have a gallbladder?

[@mariacisneros3265]

Yes me too

[@TammyG-sq2jz]

I have NO side effecrs...so not everyone has side effects

[@dianelengyel568]

Diarrhea 2 to 3 days after shot every week. Little weight loss,but I am aware that diabetics lose less weight

[@SW-bw4xk]

Constipation was my only side effect thank God I lost 3lbs so far very grateful 😊

[@MothersLovingArmsNursery]

Its on backorder for months now and no one can get it. DOn't count on finiding it at any pharmacy.

[@Janame444]

Im on week 7 only lost 3 lbs, Im starting to take my husbands metformin along with this zepbound to see if that helps 😏

[@SuperSunshine310]
