Dr. Decotiis noted, "Our practice is one of very few medical practices in New York that offer compounded tirzepatide for medical weight loss, as the nationwide shortage of the medication has put a strain on its availability. As a compounded medication, my practice does not have a problem obtaining the medication. What I like about the compounded medication is that I can tailor the prescription to the patient's needs: dosage can be customized and the GI side effects are significantly less".
NEW YORK, March 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Sue Decotiis, MD (https://www.drdecotiis.com), a triple board certified doctor in Manhattan, NY announced today that her specialty medical weight loss practice has noticed a significant uptick in men and women seeking tirzepatide (also known as Mounjaro®) injectable treatment via in-person and virtual consultations.
Dr. Decotiis noted, "Our practice is one of very few medical practices in New York that offer compounded tirzepatide for medical weight loss, as the nationwide shortage of the medication has put a strain on its availability. As a compounded medication, my practice does not have a problem obtaining the medication. What I like about the compounded medication is that I can tailor the prescription to the patient's needs: dosage can be customized and the GI side effects are significantly less".
Research from the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that patients who underwent weekly tirzepatide injections and practiced healthy lifestyle choices experienced sufficient weight loss, stating, "In this 72-week trial in participants with obesity, 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg of tirzepatide once weekly provided substantial and sustained reductions in body weight".
The influx of individuals seeking Mounjaro® weight loss consultations may be linked to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as many Americas underwent a drastic and extended sedentary lifestyle due to mass isolation. According to the National Institute of Health, "statistically significant predictors of pandemic weight gain were psychological distress, pre-pandemic weight status, having children at home; and time since last bodyweight check".
