Serious Risks Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Rare on its own, but a potential risk when combined with insulin or insulin-stimulating drugs
Avoid taking double or additional doses to compensate for the missed dose
Required supplies You will need your tirzepatide vial (lyophilized powder), bacteriostatic water (not sterile water, not saline), alcohol swabs (70% isopropyl), insulin syringes (U-100 type, typically 1 mL or 0.5 mL), and a clean, flat workspace
A patient who loses 60 pounds over 18 months on tirzepatide will likely experience less hair impact than one who loses 60 pounds in 6 months through a very low calorie diet, even though neither used surgery
The mothers and their infants were monitored for up to one year after birth
Boston, MA Frequently asked questions In the SURMOUNT-1 trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine (Jastreboff et al., 2022), participants on weekly tirzepatide 15 mg lost an average of 20.9% of body weight at 72 weeks versus 3.1% on placebo
