Description
What is Tirzepatide ?
Tirzepatide injection is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is used together with diet and exercise to help control your blood sugar. Tirzapatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist.
Tirzepatide injection is also used to help lose weight and keep the weight off in patients with obesity caused by certain conditions.
This medicine is available only with your doctor’s prescription.
Tirzepatide promotes weight loss through its dual-action mechanism as a GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. Here’s how it works:
- Appetite Suppression: Tirzepatide interacts with the brain’s appetite control centers, reducing hunger and increasing feelings of fullness. This helps lower overall calorie intake.
- Slows Gastric Emptying: The medication delays the emptying of food from the stomach into the small intestine. This prolongs the feeling of satiety after meals and helps prevent overeating.
- Enhances Insulin Sensitivity: By improving how the body responds to insulin, tirzepatide helps stabilize blood sugar levels, which can influence energy use and reduce fat storage.
- Dual Hormone Activation: The combination of GIP and GLP-1 stimulation enhances metabolic regulation more effectively than GLP-1 agonists alone. This dual action contributes to better weight management and metabolic health.
