Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that combines three different mechanisms of action to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes.
Tirzepatide works by targeting three different receptors in the body that are involved in glucose regulation. These include the GLP-1 receptor, the GIP receptor, and the glucagon receptor. By targeting these receptors, tirzepatide can stimulate insulin secretion, suppress glucagon secretion, slow gastric emptying, and reduce food intake, all of which can help to lower blood sugar levels.
