What is tirzepatide?

What is tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a new type of drug that works like two hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones are produced naturally in the body and help control blood sugar. In India, Tirzepatide will be sold only for the treatment of diabetes, not obesity.

How does Tirzepatide work?

How does Tirzepatide work?
  • Tirzepatide triggers the pancreas to make more insulin after a meal. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose, lowering blood sugar levels.
  • Tirzepatide reduces the production of a hormone called glucagon. Glucagon tells the liver to make glucose, so reducing it also lowers blood sugar.
  • Tirzepatide slows down the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. This slows down glucose absorption and prevents a rapid rise in blood sugar after a meal.
  • Tirzepatide also works on parts of the brain that control appetite, which may reduce hunger and help with weight loss.
