Tirzepatide is the newest addition to the weight-loss medication lineup, and for many Henderson patients, it's the most effective tool we can prescribe. If you've been looking for tirzepatide without having to drive far, Medi-Slim Weight Loss & Spa is a short trip from every Henderson neighborhood.
Here's what tirzepatide is, how we use it, and what to expect.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection that activates two gut hormones at the same time: GLP-1 and GIP. By hitting both, it typically produces more weight loss than GLP-1-only drugs like semaglutide.
Clinical trials showed patients on tirzepatide lost an average of 15–20% of their body weight over about a year. For a 220-pound starting weight, that's 33–44 pounds.
At MediSlim we dispense compounded tirzepatide, which is the generic equivalent to brand-name Mounjaro and Zepbound. Same active ingredient, same mechanism — prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy instead of the large drug manufacturer.
We take this route because:
If you'd prefer the brand-name product, we'll tell you where to look.
Nutrition and lifestyle guidance is handled in-house by our team. We also offer keto counseling, intermittent fasting guidance, and body composition tracking for patients who want structured support.
Generally a fit for adults who:
We rule it out if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, a history of pancreatitis, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, severe gastrointestinal issues, or are pregnant or nursing.
Appetite changes come first — usually within the first 1–2 weeks. The scale typically starts moving by week 4–6. The biggest drops happen in months 3–6 as your dose is titrated up and your appetite settles into its new baseline.
Side effects are usually mild (nausea at dose increases, mild stomach upset early on) and manageable. We start low, titrate slowly, and stay reachable.
