Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Our Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension is a cutting-edge formulation designed for the management of type 2 diabetes. This liquid formulation is dispensed in a user-friendly dropper bottle, allowing for precise dosing and ease of administration. The sublingual route is particularly beneficial for patients who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, or for those who require smaller, more controlled doses. The suspension is intended to be administered by placing the required number of drops directly under the tongue, where it can be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream.

The base of our formulation, SubMagna™ SL HMW, is specifically engineered to deliver drugs of various molecular weights, including high molecular weight substances like Tirzepatide. This advanced, anhydrous, self-emulsifying, and permeation-enhancing sublingual suspension vehicle is designed to form an emulsion upon contact with saliva. This unique feature improves the solubility and dispersibility of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), Tirzepatide, which is crucial for its therapeutic efficacy. The permeation-enhancing and mucoadhesive properties of SubMagna™ SL HMW facilitate the penetration of Tirzepatide into the mucosal tissues, extending contact time and potentially enhancing absorption.

Tirzepatide is a novel medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones, which increase insulin release in response to meals and decrease the amount of glucose your liver makes. By using our sublingual suspension, patients may experience a more consistent and efficient absorption of Tirzepatide, leading to better glycemic control. Additionally, the sublingual route bypasses the gastrointestinal tract, which can be advantageous for patients with GI issues or for drugs that have reduced bioavailability when taken orally.

The anhydrous nature of SubMagna™ SL HMW also contributes to the stability of the formulation, offering the potential for extended beyond-use-dates (BUDs), which can be particularly beneficial for chronic medications like those used in diabetes management. This can lead to less waste and more convenience for the patient.

For patients and prescribers considering this innovative Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension, it represents a promising alternative to traditional oral dosage forms, with the potential for improved therapeutic outcomes in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. If you have any questions or require further information about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of expert compounding pharmacists is here to support you with any inquiries or guidance needed for optimal medication management.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Tirzepatide is a novel medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It works by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones, which increase insulin secretion and decrease glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. This helps to control blood sugar levels. When considering drug interactions for tirzepatide, it is important to note that it may affect or be affected by other medications. For instance, tirzepatide may enhance the hypoglycemic effect of insulin and other antidiabetic agents, so careful monitoring of blood glucose levels is necessary when these drugs are used concomitantly. Patients should be advised to recognize symptoms of hypoglycemia and be prepared to manage it.

Additionally, tirzepatide's gastric emptying delaying effects could potentially alter the absorption of concomitantly administered oral medications. Medications with a narrow therapeutic index or those that require careful titration should be used with caution. Patients may need to adjust the timing of their other medications if they are taking tirzepatide. Drugs that require rapid gastrointestinal absorption or are administered with timing related to meals may be particularly affected.

Since tirzepatide is administered sublingually in this formulation, it bypasses the hepatic first-pass metabolism, which may alter the interaction profile compared to injectable forms. However, patients should still be cautious about using other medications that could impact the absorption and effectiveness of tirzepatide, such as those that alter the pH or the integrity of the oral mucosa. Substances that can cause dry mouth or alter saliva production may also affect the sublingual absorption of tirzepatide.

It is also important to consider the potential for additive effects with other medications that can cause gastrointestinal side effects, such as nausea or delayed gastric emptying. Patients taking medications such as opioids, anticholinergics, or GLP-1 receptor agonists should be monitored for gastrointestinal tolerance when starting tirzepatide.

Patients should be advised to inform their healthcare providers of all medications they are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, herbal supplements, and vitamins, to ensure that potential interactions can be assessed and managed appropriately. If you have any questions or require further information regarding the drug interactions of tirzepatide sublingual suspension, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. Our team of compounding pharmacists is here to provide the support and guidance needed to ensure safe and effective use of this medication.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

The Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension is a cutting-edge formulation designed to deliver the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API), tirzepatide, directly into the bloodstream through the mucosal tissues under the tongue. This method of administration is particularly beneficial for tirzepatide, a medication used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, as it bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and the first-pass metabolism in the liver, potentially leading to improved bioavailability and a more rapid onset of action.

Our formulation utilizes SubMagna™ SL HMW base, which is specifically engineered to carry and deliver drugs of various molecular weights, including high molecular weight substances like tirzepatide. The base is anhydrous, meaning it contains no water, which contributes to its stability and extends the beyond-use-date of the suspension. Upon administration under the tongue, SubMagna™ SL HMW interacts with saliva to form an emulsion. This process enhances the solubility and dispersibility of tirzepatide, facilitating its absorption through the sublingual mucosa.

The permeation-enhancing properties of the SubMagna™ SL HMW base are crucial for the effective delivery of tirzepatide. The base contains ingredients that increase the permeability of the mucosal tissue, allowing for the efficient transport of the medication into the systemic circulation. Additionally, the unique mucoadhesive characteristics of the base prolong the contact time between the medication and the mucosal surface, further enhancing the opportunity for absorption.

Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. By mimicking the actions of these incretin hormones, tirzepatide stimulates insulin secretion, inhibits glucagon release, and slows gastric emptying, all of which contribute to better glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. The sublingual delivery of tirzepatide in our suspension formulation may offer a more convenient and potentially more effective alternative to traditional injectable forms of GLP-1 receptor agonists, improving patient adherence and outcomes.

The liquid formulation is dispensed in a dropper bottle, allowing for precise dosing and ease of administration. This is particularly advantageous for patients who may have difficulty with injections or swallowing pills. The dropper enables the patient or caregiver to administer the exact number of drops prescribed, ensuring accurate dosing each time.

For patients and prescribers considering the Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension, it represents an innovative approach to the management of type 2 diabetes. The combination of tirzepatide with the advanced SubMagna™ SL HMW base offers a promising alternative to traditional administration routes, with the potential for enhanced efficacy and patient experience. If you have any questions or require further information about this formulation, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

While the primary indication for Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension is the management of certain disease states, the unique properties of the SubMagna™ SL HMW base may lend this formulation to other potential uses. The sublingual route of administration is particularly advantageous for patients who have difficulty swallowing or for those who require rapid onset of action, as the medication bypasses the gastrointestinal tract and hepatic first-pass metabolism. This can be beneficial for medications that are extensively metabolized by the liver or for patients with compromised liver function.

The SubMagna™ SL HMW base is designed to deliver drugs with a wide range of molecular weights, including high molecular weight substances. This means that the base could potentially be used to formulate other medications that require enhanced solubility and absorption. The mucoadhesive properties of the base prolong contact time with the mucosal tissues, which could be advantageous for drugs that benefit from extended exposure to the absorption site. Additionally, the anhydrous nature of the base may extend the beyond-use-dates of the formulations, which is particularly useful for drugs that are sensitive to degradation by moisture.

Given these properties, the Tirzepatide 15 mg/mL Sublingual Suspension could be explored for off-label uses or for the delivery of other medications that require similar pharmacokinetic enhancements. However, it is important to note that any off-label use or repurposing of this formulation should be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional with careful consideration of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of the drug in question. The safety and efficacy of Tirzepatide in other uses have not been established, and prescribers should weigh the potential benefits against the risks.
