How to Prescribe Sublingual Tirzepatide

Sublingual Tirzepatide is an innovative treatment for type 2 diabetes and potentially for obesity, combining the actions of GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonists. It effectively regulates blood sugar by enhancing insulin secretion and suppressing glucagon release, while also promoting weight loss by reducing appetite and slowing gastric emptying.

This dual mechanism offers a comprehensive approach to managing diabetes and obesity, making Tirzepatide a promising option for patients.

Step 4: Select Dose/Formula to Prescribe

For new patients, we recommend starting with the target dose of 2.5mg, since the half-life of Tirzepatide is 5-7 days and we are trying to minimize side effects.

If a dose is ineffective, increase the dosage by 2.5mg to the next stage until an effective dose is found.

Here is a simple treatment roadmap for you to follow for your patients:

‍

As you can see, you begin by prescribing 5 mg/mL Sublingual Tirzepatide 0.5 mL qw x 4w, and if not effective, increase dose to 10 mL qw x 4w, and so on.

If there are no side effects and that dose is effective, continue with that strength and dose.

If there are side effects, stop treatment and re-evaluate.

Step 4: Fill out Pharmacy Name and Fax Number

Next, fill out the pharmacy name as Bayview Pharmacy, and the fax number as (401) 284-4506.

‍

Step 5: Fax Order Form to 401-284-4506

Finally, fax the prescription order form to our pharmacy at (401) 284-4506 and we will contact the patient, go over the prescription as well as pricing and shipping/pick-up.

That's it! You've successfully Prescribed Sublingual Tirzepatide for your patient.
