Tirzepatide injection

Tirzepatide works by mimicking a naturally occurring hormone. As those hormone levels rise, the molecules go to your brain, telling it you're full. It also slows digestion by increasing the time it takes for food to leave the body.

Tirzepatide is the generic name of Mounjaro®’s active ingredient. In contrast to Semaglutide, Tirzepatide acts like both GIP and GLP-1. GIP acts synergistically with GLP-1 to regulate blood glucose levels and body weight. Human GIP is secreted in another part of the small intestines, also in response to eating. Like GLP-1, GIP protects the heart by curbing inflammation and preventing enlargement.
