Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide mimics naturally occurring hormones involved in appetite, blood sugar, and metabolism.

GLP-1

• Reduces appetite and food intake

• Helps increase feelings of fullness

• Slows stomach emptying

• Supports blood sugar control

GIP

• Supports insulin release when blood sugar is elevated

• Works together with GLP-1 to improve glucose control

• Contributes to Tirzepatide's metabolic and weight-management effects

Together, these pathways can help reduce hunger, improve blood sugar control, and promote weight loss.

WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

• Reduced appetite and food intake

• Increased feelings of fullness

• Significant reductions in body weight

• Reduced waist circumference

BLOOD SUGAR & METABOLIC HEALTH

• Improves blood sugar control

• Enhances glucose-dependent insulin release

• Reduces glucagon when appropriate

• Improves insulin sensitivity

CARDIOMETABOLIC HEALTH

Research has demonstrated improvements in several measures associated with metabolic health, including:

• Blood pressure

• Lipid levels

• Waist circumference

• Fasting insulin and glucose

The most common side effects are gastrointestinal and may include:

• Nausea

• Diarrhea

• Constipation

• Vomiting

• Decreased appetite

• Abdominal discomfort

Side effects are often more noticeable during dose increases.

Tirzepatide is a prescription medication. It should be used under appropriate medical supervision, particularly for people taking other glucose-lowering medications or those with relevant medical conditions.
