What is Tirzepatide (Zepbound/Mounjaro)?
Tirzepatide, sold under the brand name Mounjaro/Zepbound, is a groundbreaking, FDA-approved injectable medication that may help adults with obesity, or with excess weight (overweight) who also have weight related medical problems, lose weight.
How Does Tirzepatide Work?
Tirzepatide is a dual-action medication, targeting two important receptors—GLP-1 and GIP—that regulate both appetite and insulin production. Here’s how it works:
- Regulates Blood Sugar: By increasing insulin production and lowering glucagon levels, Tirzepatide helps maintain better control of blood sugar in patients with type 2 diabetes.
- Reduces Appetite: It helps control hunger and reduces food intake by interacting with your body’s natural hunger signals.
- Slows Digestion: By slowing gastric emptying, it keeps you feeling full longer after meals
- Promotes Weight Loss: While primarily designed for blood sugar control, Tirzepatide has been found to lead to significant weight loss, with some patients reporting up to 20% reduction in body weight at 72 weeks of therapy.
Who Can Benefit from Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide can be beneficial for:
- Type 2 Diabetics: Primarily used to help regulate blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetes patients, particularly those who struggle with weight.
