Frequently Asked Questions

How is tirzepatide different from semaglutide?: Tirzepatide activates two hormonal receptors — GLP-1 and GIP — compared to semaglutide's single GLP-1 receptor mechanism. The addition of GIP receptor activity enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon release, and appears to amplify fat cell metabolism. Head-to-head data suggests tirzepatide produces approximately 5–7% greater weight loss than semaglutide at comparable doses.
What weight loss results can I expect with tirzepatide?: The SURMOUNT clinical trials showed patients lost an average of 20–22% of body weight over 72 weeks at the highest doses. This represents the largest weight loss ever observed in a pharmaceutical clinical trial for obesity, making tirzepatide the current gold standard in medical weight loss.
Is tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro or Zepbound?: Yes. Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in both Mounjaro (FDA-approved for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (FDA-approved specifically for weight loss). We prescribe compounded tirzepatide, which delivers the identical active molecule at a significantly reduced cost compared to the brand-name versions.
Is telehealth legal in Washington, D.C.?: Yes, the District has progressive telehealth laws supporting virtual healthcare. Licensed providers can offer comprehensive services including consultations and prescriptions.
Can federal workers in DC use telehealth?: Telehealth is perfect for DC's federal workforce. Get care during lunch or after work without navigating traffic or taking leave.
Does DC Medicaid cover telehealth?: Yes, DC Medicaid covers telehealth services for eligible District residents. Virtual visits are reimbursed at rates comparable to in-person appointments.
