Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Tirzepatide Consult (In-Person).

Eligibility depends on BMI, medical history, medications, and metabolic conditions. During the in-person consult we review labs, assess contraindications (like pregnancy or pancreatitis), and discuss goals. Your provider will determine candidacy and recommend next steps or alternatives if Tirzepatide is unsuitable.

Bring a list of current medications and supplements, recent lab results, medical records, identification, and any weight history. Also note previous medication reactions and your goals. Providing this information helps your provider create an accurate, safe treatment plan during the consultation.

Initial consultations usually last 30–60 minutes. Time includes medical history review, vitals, lab ordering if needed, and personalized treatment planning. Longer appointments may be scheduled for complex medical histories or additional counseling.

If you meet clinical criteria and there are no contraindications, the provider may prescribe Tirzepatide and explain dosing, administration, and monitoring. Some cases require further testing or prior authorization before prescription can be issued.

Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and mild GI discomfort that usually decrease over time. Serious risks are rare but may include pancreatitis or gallbladder issues. Your provider will review risks, mitigate side effects, and provide follow-up instructions.

We schedule regular follow-ups to monitor weight, labs, and side effects, adjusting dose as needed. Appointments may be in-person or virtual; lab testing is coordinated. Our team provides coaching and referrals to nutrition or behavioral support throughout treatment.
