Zepbound Weight Loss Injections

Our Agoura Hills clinic offers Zepbound (Tirzepatide) weight loss treatments under the expert care of Dr. Michael Rankin MD, a board-certified physician in Internal Medicine.

Although in-person visits are preferable for faster weight loss, we provide remote consultations and can ship Zepbound injections to qualified candidates.

    What is Zepbound and How Does It Work?

    Zepbound is a brand name for the medication tirzepatide, developed by Eli Lilly. It is approved for chronic weight management in adults who are obese or overweight and have at least one weight-related comorbid condition. It helps accelerate weight loss by:
    • Slowing Gastric Emptying: Zepbound slows the emptying of the stomach, which helps to slow the absorption of nutrients. This contributes to a feeling of fullness and reduces appetite.
    • Reduces Appetite: Activation of GIP and GLP-1 receptors in the brain helps regulate appetite, leading to reduced food intake and aiding in weight loss.

    How Does Zepbound Differ from Semaglutide (Ozempic/Wegovy)?

    Zepbound (Tirzepatide)

    • Mechanism: Dual agonist that stimulates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
    • Efficacy: Clinical studies show patients losing 15-22% of their body weight, surpassing the results typically seen with GLP-1 agonists such as Semaglutide.

    Semaglutide

    • Mechanism: GLP-1 agonist that targets only the GLP-1 receptor.
    • Efficacy: Clinical trials show an average weight loss of 14.9%.

    Zepbound’s (tirzepatide) dual action offers broader metabolic benefits and potentially greater weight loss, while semaglutide remains a strong option for glucose control and weight management.

    During your initial consultation, we will perform a thorough medical review to determine the most suitable treatment for you.

    Zepbound Clinical Trial Weight Loss Results

    The SURMOUNT trials were a series of clinical studies designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of tirzepatide (marketed as Zepbound) for weight management.

    • Participants taking tirzepatide weekly experienced significant weight loss. Dosages were tested at 2.5mg, 5mg, 7.5 mg, 10mg, and 15mg.
    • Average weight reductions were 15% (5mg), 19.5% (10mg), and 20.9% (15mg), compared to 3.1% for the placebo group.

    Multiple clinical trials have consistently shown that Zepbound leads to substantial weight loss.

    Is Zepbound FDA Approved?

    Yes, the FDA approved Zepbound in November 2023 for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or overweight with at least one weight-related comorbidity.

    Potential Side Effects of Zepbound

    Common side effects of Zepbound include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and constipation. These side effects are generally mild and improve over time. 

    Serious side effects are rare. During your consultation, Dr. Michael Rankin will discuss any pre-existing conditions and review potential side effects.
