How does compounded tirzepatide work?
Compounded tirzepatide, like Mounjaro and Zepbound, operates as a GLP-1 receptor agonist, reducing glucose in the bloodstream, stimulating insulin production, delaying gastric emptying, and suppressing appetite.
What are the most common side effects of compounded tirzepatide?
Common side effects of compounded tirzepatide include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. Typically, these side effects subside within a few days or up to 2-3 weeks.
Can I travel with compounded tirzepatide?
Yes, with proper storage, you can travel safely. Refrigerate vials before use and discard them after 28 days or when the top is pierced.
Can I change the day or time when I take compounded tirzepatide?
Adjusting your dosing schedule is acceptable. Begin on the new day, ensuring at least 48 hours since the last injection. We recommend staying consistent as much as possible.
What is the difference between compounded tirzepatide and Mounjaro® and Zepbound™?
Compounded Tirzepatide and Mounjaro®/Zepbound share the same active ingredient (Tirzepatide). Compounded Tirzepatide is self-administered with syringes, unlike Mounjaro®/Zepbound, which uses injection pens.
Why is BIOVERSE offering compounded tirzepatide?
To provide an alternative during the Mounjaro® shortage, aligning with our mission to make treatments more accessible to our patients.
When should I stop increasing my dose?
When you see steady weight loss of 1-2 pounds per week on average.
When will I start seeing results?
With consistent use maximum benefit is usually seen around month 4-6.
How much weight loss can I expect from semaglutide versus tirzepatide?
Semaglutide tends to help people lose about 15% of their body weight whereas tirzepatide is about 20%.
