Weight Loss without Needles: Oral Tirzepatide

All about sublingual Tirzepatide AKA Under the Tongue Tirzepatide



A revolutionary treatment

Prosper Health and Wellness in Sioux City Iowa is excited to announce a new delivery system for medical weight loss- sublingual Tirzepatide (Oral Tirzepatide) ! Perfect for those who have a needle phobia or are on maintenance Tirzepatide looking for another option. The million dollar question…What is sublingual? Sublingual simply means you put it under your tongue and let it dissolve instead of chewing or swallowing it whole.


Tirzepatide is a newer medication that goes beyond traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists. It is a dual GIP (Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide) and GLP-1 receptor agonist, which means it activates both the GIP and GLP-1 pathways to regulate blood sugar and appetite.


Understanding Medical Weight Loss

Medical weight loss is a term that refers to a structured approach to losing weight under the supervision of healthcare professionals. This method is distinct from commercial weight loss programs because it is tailored to the individual’s health needs and medical background.


At its core, medical weight loss is not just about dieting or exercise; it’s about understanding and addressing the underlying causes of obesity and overweight conditions. 

Healthcare providers, like doctors and nutritionists, are essential in guiding the weight loss journey. They evaluate a patient’s overall health, set achievable goals, and create a tailored plan that may include diet changes, exercise, behavior therapy, and, when needed, medications such as Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. These programs focus not just on losing weight but also on maintaining it for the long term, ensuring sustainable results.



Oral Tirzepatide is gaining attention for its versatile approach to managing both weight and blood sugar, offering new hope for those dealing with diabetes and obesity.


A key benefit is its ability to mimic natural hormones that regulate appetite, helping to reduce cravings and encourage healthier eating habits. This not only supports weight loss but also promotes a more balanced relationship with food. Patients also report better blood sugar control, with fewer spikes throughout the day. 


The added convenience of an oral option makes it even more appealing—no injections, just easy integration into your daily routine without sacrificing effectiveness.


Tirzepatide Drops Dosage Plan

The Tirzepatide drops have a different dosage guide and administration directions. Firstly, because the drops are applied everyday, the dosage is usually smaller. Unlike the injections which can be taken at any time of day, it is best to administer the drops about thirty minutes before your first meal of the day. This helps prevent side effects and ensure quick absorption.


To apply the drops, shake the bottle well and then use the provided dropper to place the correct amount of drops under the tongue. The amount of drops may vary based on the patient and progression through treatment.



The availability of all GLP-1 agonist medications—in particular semaglutide and tirzepatide—have been a legitimate concern for patients. However, for the most part, the stress of the shortage has eased. 


Yes, oral Tirzepatide is just as safe as injectable tirzepatide. In fact, there are potentially fewer risks associated with oral tirzepatide because it does not involve injections which could lead to skin infections and side effects tend to be more mild.


The rate at which you see results from oral tirzepatide depends on how your body responds to the medication and your overall lifestyle. However, most patients begin to see results in a few months. Studies suggest an average weight loss of 15-20% of body weight can be achieved within a year of using tirzepatide.


Potential benefits of Tirzepatide Drops (sublingual Tirzepatide) include:


1. Superior Weight Loss: Tirzepatide has been shown in clinical trials to promote even greater weight loss compared to Semaglutide. By targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, it helps the body better manage appetite and accelerate fat burning.  

2. Improved Blood Sugar Control: Tirzepatide has proven highly effective in lowering blood sugar levels, offering a promising solution for individuals with type 2 diabetes.

3. Enhanced Metabolic Flexibility: With its dual action on GIP and GLP-1 receptors, Tirzepatide may enhance metabolic flexibility, allowing the body to efficiently shift between using carbs and fats for energy.  

4. Cardiovascular Health Benefits: Similar to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide has shown potential in reducing cardiovascular risk factors, making it an excellent choice for those with metabolic syndrome or cardiovascular conditions.


Can I get Tirzepatide over the counter?

No, tirzepatide requires a prescription.


Can you drink alcohol with oral tirzepatide? 

It’s recommended that you avoid alcohol when taking oral tirzepatide, as it can worsen the side effects and increase nausea.
