Tirzepatide for Weight Loss: What You Need to Know About New FDA Guidelines
At Hixson Weight Loss Center & Shot Spot, we’re committed to helping you achieve real, sustainable results with the latest in medical weight loss treatments. One of the most exciting developments in recent years is tirzepatide, a powerful prescription medication shown to help patients lose up to 20% of their body weight.
But with recent changes from the FDA, we want to keep you informed and reassured. Here’s what you need to know.
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide (commonly known by brand names like Mounjaro and Zepbound) is an injectable medication that mimics natural hormones in the body to help regulate appetite and blood sugar levels. It’s been a game-changer for people who’ve struggled to lose weight through diet and exercise alone.
What Changed with the FDA?
As of March 19, 2025, the FDA has ended its allowance for compounded versions of tirzepatide due to the official resolution of nationwide shortages. This means compounded tirzepatide is no longer legally available from pharmacies that don’t meet specific licensing standards.
This change is all about safety and quality control—and we support that fully.
