Tirzepatide is a relatively new medication approved for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and, more recently, for weight management in adults with obesity or overweight in the presence of a weight-related condition such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, or obstructive sleep apnea. Tirzepatide works by mimicking the actions of both GLP-1 and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), hormones involved in regulating blood sugar levels and appetite. This dual action not only helps control blood sugar levels but also promotes significant weight loss by reducing appetite and food intake.
Administered through subcutaneous injection, tirzepatide is often prescribed alongside dietary changes and increased physical activity to optimize treatment outcomes for diabetes management and weight loss. Due to its effectiveness in lowering blood sugar levels and aiding in weight reduction, tirzepatide has gained attention as a promising treatment option for individuals looking for comprehensive management of type 2 diabetes and obesity.
