Maintaining a healthy weight can be challenging, especially when your metabolism starts slowing down and your busy life makes it more difficult to carve out time for exercise. If you’ve unsuccessfully tried to lose weight through other methods, Rejuvime Medical prescribes Zepbound, a GLP-1 medication, in Louisiana, Mississippi, and throughout the Southeast.
Zepbound was initially developed to regulate insulin levels and metabolism under a different brand name. It is an injectable prescription medication approved by the FDA for weight loss in adults diagnosed as obese or who are chronically overweight with weight-related medical conditions.
The active ingredient in Zepbound is tirzepatide. Like compounded semaglutide, tirzepatide belongs to a class of medications called GLP-1 receptor agonists that help lower blood sugar and promote weight loss. It regulates insulin levels and slows stomach emptying. It also acts on areas of the brain that control hunger and appetite. As a result, people can lose a significant amount of weight without feeling hungry.
A randomized, controlled clinical trial published in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that tirzepatide (Zepbound’s active ingredient) led to a 20% reduction in body weight over 72 weeks for people injecting 15 mg doses. Study participants who injected 10 mg doses enjoyed a weight loss of 19.1%.1
Patients using Zepbound typically experience many health benefits related to weight loss. Those benefits include lower blood pressure and a reduction in total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. These improvements not only contribute to overall health but also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and other illnesses.
When you stop using Zepbound, you may regain some of the weight you lost. Making lifestyle changes as part of your weight loss treatment, such as following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, is an essential part of the treatment. One study found that people who exercised while taking the medication regained less weight than those who didn’t change their exercise habits. Another study showed that remaining on the drug not only promotes additional weight loss but preserves improvements in metabolic and cardiovascular health.2
It’s crucial to consult a healthcare provider before stopping the medication. They can guide you through a gradual transition and help you establish a plan to maintain your weight loss. Continued support from healthcare professionals can also provide strategies and adjustments to sustain your long-term health goals.
People participating in clinical trials using tirzepatid tolerated the medication well, but they did experience some side effects. The most common side effects reported by participants were mild and transient, such as nausea and vomiting, which typically improved over time. This suggests that tirzepatide is not only effective but also safe for long-term use.
