Medical Weight Loss Irvine — Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic & Wegovy Near Me
Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, Wegovy — brand name GLP-1s, physician-prescribed in Irvine CA.
Weight loss that lasts — physician-prescribed, FDA-approved, brand name only.
You've tried the diets. You've tried the exercise programs. If you're still struggling to lose weight and keep it off, the problem may not be willpower — it may be biology. GLP-1 medications work by targeting the hormonal pathways that regulate appetite and metabolism. If you're searching for tirzepatide near me, semaglutide near me, or a weight loss clinic near me in Irvine or Orange County — you've found the right place.
At The Pur Health in Irvine, CA, Dr. Sabeen Munib has been prescribing GLP-1 medications for years and has seen them work for hundreds of patients. Every patient receives a personalized consultation, individualized dosing, and ongoing physician support — not a telehealth app or a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Brand name only: The Pur Health does not offer compounded or generic GLP-1 medications. The FDA has banned the production of compounded GLP-1s. When you come here, you receive the same FDA-approved medication dispensed at a licensed pharmacy — nothing more, nothing less.
Mounjaro and Zepbound (Tirzepatide) — why Dr. Munib recommends it for most patients
Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist — meaning it targets two metabolic pathways simultaneously. This dual mechanism consistently produces greater weight loss than single GLP-1 medications like Ozempic in head-to-head clinical trials.
Zepbound is the FDA-approved weight loss formulation of tirzepatide. In clinical trials, patients on the highest dose lost an average of 22.5% of their body weight — roughly 45 pounds for a 200-pound person. In our practice, patients typically lose 30–45 pounds over 12 months.
Mounjaro pricing at The Pur Health: $250–$800/month depending on dose. We only use the original brand name product. All dosing decisions are made by Dr. Munib personally based on your individual response and tolerance.
Ozempic and Wegovy (Semaglutide) — a trusted option with strong clinical evidence
Semaglutide (sold as Ozempic for diabetes and Wegovy for weight loss) is a GLP-1 receptor agonist with years of clinical evidence behind it. It mimics the GLP-1 hormone — telling your brain you're full and slowing gastric emptying — leading to reduced calorie intake and sustainable weight loss.
Clinical trials show average weight loss of 15–20% of body weight over 12 months. Ozempic may be preferred for patients with type 2 diabetes, and it has better insurance coverage than Mounjaro for diabetic patients. Wegovy is specifically FDA-approved for weight loss.
Insurance coverage: some insurance plans cover Ozempic or Mounjaro if you have type 2 diabetes. Coverage for weight loss alone is rare but increasing. Dr. Munib will review your eligibility and help you navigate coverage options during your consultation.
Physician-supervised weight loss — Dr. Sabeen Munib, physician-led Family Medicine
GLP-1 medications are not candy dispensed by a telehealth app. They are prescription medications that require proper medical evaluation, dose management, and monitoring. At The Pur Health, Dr. Munib personally reviews your health history, metabolic goals, and current medications before prescribing anything.
Unlike telehealth-only services or medspa weight loss programs, The Pur Health is a full-service medical practice. Dr. Munib treats you as a whole patient — managing the intersection of weight, metabolic health, cardiovascular risk, and overall wellness. Your weight loss plan is coordinated with your overall care.
Primary care + weight loss under one roof: The Pur Health accepts most major PPO plans and select HMO plans (Monarch/Optum, Mission/Providence) for primary care services. Patients who use Dr. Munib as their primary care physician benefit from fully integrated care between their medical and weight loss treatment.

From consultation to your first injection: your weight loss experience at The Pur Health
Consultation (30 minutes) — Dr. Munib reviews your complete health history, current medications, metabolic goals, and weight history. She will determine which medication — Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Wegovy — is most appropriate for your individual profile.
Starting dose — all GLP-1 medications are started at the lowest dose and titrated up gradually based on your tolerance. This minimizes side effects and gives your body time to adjust.
Ongoing support — follow-up visits to monitor progress, adjust dosing, and address any side effects. Dr. Munib's team is available between visits for questions and support.
Results — most patients notice appetite reduction within the first 1–2 weeks. Meaningful weight loss typically begins at weeks 4–8. Full results develop over 3–12 months with continued treatment.
Are you a candidate for Mounjaro, Zepbound, Ozempic, or Wegovy?
GLP-1 medications may be right for you if:
- Your BMI is 30 or higher (obese), or 27+ with a weight-related condition such as diabetes, hypertension, or high cholesterol
- You've struggled to lose weight with diet and exercise alone
- You do not have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer or MEN2 syndrome
- You are not currently pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- You are willing to commit to lifestyle modifications alongside medication
During your consultation, Dr. Munib will review your full health history and confirm whether GLP-1 therapy is appropriate for you. She will also discuss realistic expectations, potential side effects, and what success looks like for your specific goals.
Mounjaro vs. Ozempic: which GLP-1 medication is right for you in Irvine?
Choose Mounjaro or Zepbound (Tirzepatide) if: you want maximum weight loss, you don't have diabetes (Zepbound is FDA-approved specifically for weight loss), and you're willing to pay more out of pocket. Most patients in our practice lose more weight on tirzepatide.
Choose Ozempic or Wegovy (Semaglutide) if: you have type 2 diabetes and want better insurance coverage, you prefer a medication with a longer track record, or you've had difficulty tolerating dual GIP/GLP-1 agonists in the past.
The honest answer: if you're asking Dr. Munib which she'd choose for herself or her family, it's Mounjaro. But the right answer for you depends on your health history, budget, and goals. That's what the consultation is for.
Why The Pur Health does not offer compounded or generic GLP-1 medications
You've seen the ads — compounded semaglutide for $99/month, generic tirzepatide available online. We won't offer it, and here's why: the FDA has banned the production of compounded GLP-1 medications. What's being sold is being sold under very strict and limited guidelines that make it prohibitive for general clinical use.
When a medication is sold well below market cost, it's worth asking what's actually in it. These are injected medications — uncontrolled impurities are a real risk. We educate every patient who asks about compounded options, and we will not compromise your safety for a cheaper price.
At The Pur Health: we prescribe only FDA-approved, brand name medications dispensed by licensed pharmacies. Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound — the real thing, at a fair price, under physician supervision.
