Which one is right for you? That's what your free consultation is for. We recommend based on your medical history, goals, and how your body has responded to previous approaches. If you're comparing by brand name, see which weight-loss shot wins, Wegovy or Zepbound. If cost is your main concern, ask us about the compounded tirzepatide option.
Dosing
Slow ramp. Careful watch.
Tirzepatide requires patience — the titration up to therapeutic dose takes months, and we hold or slow you down when side effects need managing. See our week-by-week titration schedule for exactly how we step the dose up under supervision.

What compounded tirzepatide costs, and why we offer it.
Brand-name tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) often runs well over a thousand dollars a month at the pharmacy counter when insurance denies coverage for weight loss. That price wall is where most people give up. It's also exactly the problem Dr. Dave built this program to solve.
Cash-pay pricing
Transparent monthly pricing you see before you commit. No prior-auth maze, no surprise pharmacy total.
Price match guarantee
Bring us a lower quote from any legitimate licensed clinic and we meet it. New patients also get $100 off month one.
Direct pharmacy relationship
We work directly with our compounding pharmacy and skip the third-party middlemen many clinics stack on top.
Compounded tirzepatide keeps treatment affordable when insurance denies Mounjaro or Zepbound, using the same active ingredient prepared by a licensed pharmacy under physician supervision. If semaglutide is a better fit for your budget or history, our compounded semaglutide option follows the same cash-pay model. Either way, every patient at our Bloomington, MN clinic gets the weekly check-ins the online-only sellers skip.

How is tirzepatide prescribed at Regner Health Solutions?
Tirzepatide is a prescription GLP-1 + GIP medication we offer for medical weight loss. Our physicians review your health history, determine the right starting dose, and titrate up based on how your body responds — with weekly check-ins throughout your treatment.
How is tirzepatide different from semaglutide?
Semaglutide activates GLP-1 receptors. Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors — a dual-action approach. In head-to-head clinical trials, tirzepatide produced greater average weight loss than semaglutide (up to 22.5% of body weight over 72 weeks vs 15% for semaglutide). Which one is right for you depends on your health history, tolerance, and goals — we'll walk through it during your consultation.
How much weight can I lose on tirzepatide?
The SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial showed average body weight loss of 15–22.5% depending on dose over 72 weeks. That translates to 30–60+ lbs for many patients. Individual results vary significantly — we prescribe based on your specific profile and adjust based on how your body responds.
How do I take tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly subcutaneous injection you administer yourself at home. We teach you how in the clinic. Dosing starts at 2.5mg and steps up every 4 weeks to give your body time to adjust.
What are the side effects of tirzepatide?
Most common are mild GI symptoms during the dose-up weeks: nausea, reduced appetite, occasional constipation, or diarrhea. These usually fade after the first few weeks at each dose. Our weekly check-ins let us slow or hold your titration if side effects need managing.
Do I qualify for tirzepatide?
Most adults with a BMI of 27+ (with weight-related conditions) or 30+ can be candidates. We screen for contraindications during your free 15-minute consultation and decide together whether tirzepatide, semaglutide, or a different approach is right for you.
Does insurance cover tirzepatide?
Coverage depends on your plan and diagnosis. Some commercial plans cover tirzepatide for weight loss; many still limit coverage to diabetes. We offer transparent cash-pay options plus a price match guarantee if you find a lower quote elsewhere.
Is compounded tirzepatide the same as Mounjaro?
It uses the same active ingredient, tirzepatide, prepared by a licensed compounding pharmacy rather than sold under the Mounjaro or Zepbound brand name. The brand versions are manufactured by Eli Lilly; the compounded version is made to order by a pharmacy we work with directly and prescribed under physician supervision. For patients whose insurance denies the brand for weight loss, compounded tirzepatide is what keeps treatment affordable without giving up doctor oversight or weekly check-ins.
How much does tirzepatide cost without insurance?
Brand-name tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) frequently runs well over a thousand dollars a month at the counter when insurance won't cover it for weight loss. Our cash-pay pricing for compounded tirzepatide sits well below that. Because we work directly with our compounding pharmacy and skip the third-party middlemen many clinics use, we pass the savings on. You'll see the exact monthly price before you commit, we back it with a price match guarantee, and new patients get $100 off their first month.
When do you increase my tirzepatide dose?
We start everyone at 2.5mg weekly and step up roughly every 4 weeks: to 5mg, then 7.5mg, and higher only if tolerated and your progress supports it. The dose goes up when your body has adjusted, side effects are settled, and weight loss is holding steady rather than accelerating. If GI symptoms are still active, we hold you at your current dose rather than push ahead. That's the whole point of our weekly check-ins at the Bloomington clinic: we tune the ramp to your body instead of following a fixed calendar.
Why prescribe tirzepatide from a real clinic instead of an online service?
Tirzepatide is powerful and the dosing schedule matters. Online services prescribe once and disappear. We check in weekly, catch side effects early, and adjust dosing based on how your body actually responds. It's the difference between managing a medication and just filling a prescription.
Is tirzepatide right medical weight loss plan looks like?
A free 15-minute consultation with our medical team. We'll review your history, walk through both medications in plain language, and recommend the approach we'd want for our own family.
