Tirzepatide is a dual-acting peptide that mimics two naturally occurring hormones: GLP-1 and GIP. By activating both receptors, it enhances the body's ability to regulate blood sugar, increases insulin sensitivity, and signals the brain to feel full.

Its primary functions include:

• Appetite Suppression: It slows gastric emptying, leading to prolonged satiety.

• Metabolic Efficiency: It improves how the body processes fats and sugars, often resulting in significant weight reduction.

• Administration: It is typically administered as a once-weekly subcutaneous injection and is widely utilized for managing glucose levels and chronic weight issues.
