Tirzepatide in San Antonio

Tirzepatide in San Antonio is an injectable weight loss treatment that combines the power of 2 hormones.

Similar to semaglutide, tirzepatide mimics GLP-1 receptor agonists. These hormones help to:

• Reduce blood sugar levels
• Slow the release of glucagon (which raises blood sugar levels)
• Promote the feeling of fullness
• Reduce cravings and appetite
• Slow the movement of food through the digestive process
• Improve insulin response

However, tirzepatide offers a second function as a GIP receptor agonist. This hormone stimulates insulin secretion, improving blood sugar level control even as it further reduces appetite and cravings.
