Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a medication approved for managing type 2 diabetes and aiding weight loss. It functions by activating receptors for two different hormones that are natural regulators of blood sugar and appetite. By enhancing the action of these hormones, Tirzepatide helps lower blood sugar levels and reduce appetite, which can lead to significant weight loss. The treatment is administered through injections, and its dual-action approach not only helps manage diabetes but also targets obesity by helping control caloric intake and promoting a healthier metabolism.
