Semaglutide and Tirzepatide are both type 2 diabetic medications that are now being utilized for weight management in certain patients. In addition, these medications may have cardiovascular benefits while also improving A1c levels. Both work by targeting important hormones involved in weight control, but their mechanisms of action differ slightly as explained in our consent form. These medications are prescribed as an adjunct to both a reduced calorie diet and increased physical activity for adults with an initial body mass index (BMI) that is considered outside a healthy range. At The Mist, we offer subcutaneous weekly injections in a monthly series for your convenience.  The dosage is titrated each month in accordance with a specific protocol that factors in individual response for optimization and safety. As with any medication, it is important to follow the prescribed consistent dosing schedule while consulting with one of our healthcare professionals for personalized advice and guidance. Listed below are some potential key benefits of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide:

1. Blood Sugar Control: Reduction of blood sugar levels by increasing insulin secretion from the pancreas and reducing glucagon production. This can lead to improved glycemic control in individuals with type 2 diabetes

 2. Weight Loss: Promotion of weight loss in individuals with obesity by appetite reduction  and increased feelings of fullness, leading to reduced calorie intake and weight loss over time.

3. Cardiovascular Health: Studies have suggested that these medications may have cardiovascular benefits, such as reducing the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). These events include heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular-related deaths.

4. Blood Pressure Reduction: Association with a modest reduction in blood pressure, which is beneficial for individuals with hypertension or high blood pressure.

5. Convenience: Semaglutide & Tirzepatide are both available in injection, offering flexibility in administration. The once-weekly injection option provides convenience for those who prefer less frequent dosing.

It’s important to note that the specific benefits and effectiveness of Semaglutide & Tirzepatide can vary from person to person, and it should always be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
