Dual-action GLP-1/GIP therapy — the most effective weight loss medication available. Provider-supervised at Rituel Med Spa with personalized dosing and real follow-up.
Tirzepatide is the active compound behind the brand names Mounjaro® and Zepbound®. Unlike semaglutide (Ozempic®/Wegovy®), tirzepatide targets two hormone receptors — GLP-1 and GIP — which is why clinical trials consistently show greater weight loss compared to single-receptor medications.
In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, patients on tirzepatide lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight over 72 weeks — significantly more than semaglutide's average of 15–17%. For someone weighing 200 pounds, that's the difference between losing 30 lbs and losing 45 lbs.
At Rituel Med Spa, we use compounded tirzepatide from licensed U.S. pharmacies — same active compound at a fraction of the brand-name cost. Your provider supervises every dose adjustment.
Targets both GLP-1 and GIP receptors for stronger appetite suppression, better blood sugar control, and more consistent weight loss than single-target medications.
This isn't a telehealth mill. Your provider at Rituel sees you in person, reviews labs, adjusts dosing, manages side effects, and tracks your progress every step of the way.
Brand-name Zepbound can cost $1,000+/month. Our compounded tirzepatide uses the same active ingredient at a fraction of the price, from licensed U.S. pharmacies.

Not sure which is right for you? Your provider will recommend the best option based on your goals, medical history, and how your body responds.
Medical history review, baseline labs (metabolic panel, thyroid, A1C if needed), and goal-setting. Your provider creates a personalized tirzepatide protocol tailored to your body.
Begin at a low dose (typically 2.5 mg) for the first 4 weeks. This gradual start minimizes nausea and lets your body adjust before increasing.
Simple subcutaneous injection at home — abdomen, thigh, or upper arm. Your provider teaches you the technique. Takes 30 seconds once you're comfortable.
Regular progress reviews with dose adjustments. Most patients see noticeable results within the first 4–8 weeks, with significant weight loss over 3–6 months.
Tirzepatide may be right for you if:
Tirzepatide is not appropriate for everyone. Your provider will review your full medical history to determine if it's safe and effective for you.
At Rituel Med Spa, compounded tirzepatide programs start at $399/month. This includes medication, provider consultations, and dose adjustments. Brand-name Zepbound typically costs $1,000+/month without insurance.
Clinical data shows tirzepatide produces greater average weight loss (20–25% vs 15–17%). However, "better" depends on your body's response, medical history, and goals. Some patients do well on semaglutide and don't need to switch. Your provider will recommend the best option for you.
The most common side effects are nausea, diarrhea, and decreased appetite — especially during dose increases. These typically improve within 1–2 weeks at each dose level. Your provider manages side effects by adjusting the titration schedule.
Most patients notice appetite changes within the first 1–2 weeks. Visible weight loss typically begins by weeks 4–8. Clinical trials showed an average of 5% body weight lost in the first 12 weeks, with continued steady loss over 12+ months.
Yes. If you've plateaued on semaglutide or want to explore the dual-action approach, your provider can help you transition. The switch is typically straightforward, though you'll start tirzepatide at a lower dose to let your body adjust.
We source compounded tirzepatide exclusively from 503B-compliant, FDA-registered pharmacies in the United States. These pharmacies follow strict quality controls. Your provider ensures proper dosing and monitoring throughout your treatment.
