Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication used to treat:
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Obesity or overweight (with weight-related health risks)
It is sold under the brand name Mounjaro (and others in some countries) and comes in doses ranging from 2.5 mg to 15 mg per injection. The 2.5 mg dose is typically used as the starting dose.
🧬 Class & MechanismTirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist:
GIP: Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide
GLP-1: Glucagon-Like Peptide-1
These are natural gut hormones (incretins) that:
Stimulate insulin release when blood sugar is high
Suppress glucagon (which raises blood sugar)
Slow stomach emptying
Reduce appetite, helping with weight loss
By targeting both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, tirzepatide has enhanced glucose control and significant weight loss effects.
