Tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro, represents a new class of weight management medications.


It's a dual agonist for glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors, which are hormones that help regulate your appetite and insulin levels.
After you eat, these hormones work to control blood sugar levels and increase feelings of fullness.

 

Tirzepatide assists in controlling appetite and managing weight by activating these receptors.
Tirzepatide is administered through a subcutaneous injection (under the skin).
It complements a balanced diet and regular exercise for a comprehensive weight management strategy.
 

Tirzepatide is intended for adults committed to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
It's been approved for medical use in various parts of the world, including the United States, European Union, Canada, and Australia.
