Is Tirzepatide Right for You?
Tirzepatide may be appropriate for Utah adults who need additional help controlling hunger, losing weight, or maintaining previous weight loss. It may also be considered for patients who have plateaued on semaglutide or are continuing treatment from another provider.
​
Dr. Silva will review your medical history, current medications, previous GLP-1 experience, side effects, goals, and budget before recommending treatment.
What Best Describes Your Situation?
Starting Treatment?
New to tirzepatide? Treatment generally begins at a lower dose, with increases based on appetite control, weight-loss progress, and side effects.
Switching From Semaglutide?
Your tirzepatide starting dose is selected based on your current semaglutide dose, treatment response, and side effects—not by a one-size-fits-all conversion.
Continuing Tirzepatide?
Already taking tirzepatide? We review your current dose, progress, and tolerability so you can continue or adjust treatment without automatically restarting at the beginning dose.

How Tirzepatide Helps With Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is a prescription medication that activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. It can reduce hunger, quiet food noise, improve fullness, and help people feel satisfied with less food.
​
In a 72-week clinical trial of adults with obesity or overweight (without diabetes), participants taking the highest approved dose of Zepbound® (tirzepatide 15 mg) lost an average of about 21% of their starting body weight. Average weight loss increased with dose and treatment duration, but individual results vary. The goal is not necessarily to reach the highest dose—it is to find the lowest dose that provides meaningful benefit with manageable side effects.

Common Questions About Tirzepatide
Weight loss varies, but in a 72-week clinical trial of FDA-approved tirzepatide in adults with obesity or overweight without diabetes, average weight loss was approximately 15% with 5 mg, 19.5% with 10 mg, and 21% with 15 mg. Results depend on dose, treatment duration, nutrition, physical activity, side effects, and individual response.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal in nature – nausea, constipation, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, indigestion, and reflux. Gradual dosing and early communication can help make treatment more manageable.
Yes. Some patients switch from semaglutide because weight loss has plateaued, appetite control is inadequate, or side effects are difficult to manage. The appropriate tirzepatide starting dose depends on your current semaglutide dose, treatment response, side effects, and the timing of your last injection. Dr. Silva will review these factors and recommend an individualized transition plan.
Yes. Potere Health MD offers telehealth consultations and follow-up care for eligible patients located throughout Utah.
No. Compounded tirzepatide is not FDA-approved and is not a generic equivalent of Zepbound or Mounjaro. It may be prescribed only when clinically and legally appropriate following an individualized evaluation.
Not necessarily. Some patients eventually discontinue treatment, while others benefit from a lower maintenance dose or continued therapy. The decision depends on appetite, weight stability, health, side effects, and long-term goals.
