Same active ingredient as Mounjaro® and Zepbound®
Introduction to Tirzepatide
- Dual Receptor Activation: Tirzepatide activates both GIP and GLP-1 receptors.
- Blood Sugar Regulation: Stimulates insulin secretion and inhibits glucagon release, helping control blood sugar levels.
- Gastric Delay: Slows gastric emptying, regulating nutrient absorption.
- Potential Appetite Control: May influence appetite regulation, aiding in weight management.
Tirzepatide stands out with its dual-action approach, functioning as an agonist for both the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. This dual mechanism sets it apart from drugs such as semaglutide, which mainly focus on activating the GLP-1 receptor.
