Tirzepatide is a once-weekly, self-injected prescription medication that acts as a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. By mimicking hormones that control appetite and blood sugar, it slows gastric emptying and increases satiety, often leading to substantial weight loss alongside improved glycemic control.
9Tirzepatide is a once-weekly, injectable prescription medication that works as a dual agonist, mimicking two natural gut hormones: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). By acting on both receptors, it is more effective at regulating blood sugar and promoting weight loss than traditional, single-agonist drug.
Key Benefits
Significant Weight Loss: Clinical trials (SURMOUNT-1) showed that participants on the 15 mg dose lost an average of 52 lbs (about 22.5% of body weight) over 72 weeks.
Improved Glycemic Control: Patients with type 2 diabetes experienced improved A1C levels.
Cardiometabolic Health: It has been associated with improvements in blood pressure, lipid levels, and reduced inflammation.
Common Side Effects

Nausea
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Constipation
Abdominal pain/discomfort
