Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist designed to support advanced metabolic and weight management goals. Unlike traditional GLP-1 therapies alone, tirzepatide targets both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and GLP-1 pathways to provide broader metabolic support.
Brand medications associated with tirzepatide include:
Mounjaro®
Zepbound®
Mechanism of Action
Tirzepatide works through dual receptor activity that may support:
Appetite suppression
Satiety signaling
Blood sugar regulation
Insulin sensitivity
Reduced caloric intake
