Patient Information

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a medication used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and weight management. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists.

How it Works

Tirzepatide mimics two naturally occurring hormones in the body: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). These hormones help regulate blood sugar levels and appetite.

Benefits

• Significant weight loss in individuals with obesity
• Potential cardiovascular benefits

Administration

Tirzepatide is typically administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection. The dose may be adjusted over time based on individual response and tolerability.
