IVY RX is excited to help you take the first step towards a healthier you. As we age, our systems naturally slow down and don’t operate at the same capacity they used to.

Welcome to the New Version of You

IVY RX welcomes you to our program and supports you in taking your first step towards a new you with Tirzepatide. This groundbreaking obesity treatment has the potential to enhance your quality of life while helping you achieve longevity and optimal wellness.

Your Weight Loss Journey on Tirzepatide

Your Tirzepatide regimen may produce modest results initially, but as you continue on your wellness path, your weight loss results will become more pronounced.

It’s important to note that Tirzepatide treatment may result in vitamin B12 deficiency. For this reason, we create a compounded treatment tailored to your unique bodily needs.

Below is a detailed breakdown of your Tirzepatide treatment schedule for the next 20+ weeks:

Short-term Effects: Weeks 1 - 4

During the first four weeks of your Tirzepatide treatment, your body will adjust and adapt. You should expect to feel significantly fuller after meals and experience reduced hunger overall. Noticeable side effects may include nausea as the dosage increases. Weight loss during the first month may be gradual.

Initial Prescribed
Dosage:

Tirzepatide: 2.5 mg

Methylcobalamin: 100mcg/mL per dose (0.25mg/0.1mg)

Mid-term Effects: Weeks 5 - 20

Midway through your Tirzepatide journey, you will experience a continued decrease in cravings and hunger pangs, with reduced side effects. Due to your drastically reduced caloric intake, your results will be more pronounced at this point. You may also experience other health benefits, including a reduced risk of cardiometabolic problems and regulated blood pressure.

Prescribed Dosage: Your dosage will increase
accordingly.

Long-term Effects: Longer than 20 weeks

In the later stages of your Tirzepatide treatment, you’ll likely be close to or have achieved your target weight. You will experience an enhanced quality of life, greater physical abilities, and maintain healthier cardiometabolic levels. As your body adapts to your new caloric intake and metabolic rate, your weight loss will stabilize.

However, every situation varies, and your body may respond differently than others. We encourage you to contact your provider should you have any concerns about your progress so we can develop the best plan moving forward.

Prescribed Dosage: Maintenance or otherwise as
prescribed by your provider.

Important Things to Know

As with any treatment regimen, you may experience side effects as your body adjusts to Tirzepatide. Should any side effects become problematic or impact your daily life, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Special Considerations

To maximize treatment results, administer your injections first thing in the morning without food or other medications. Wait 30 minutes before taking any other medicines following your injection.

Most Common Side Effects of Tirzepatide Treatment
