Tirzepatide (GLP-1) (5 mg)

Description

Tirzepatide, also known as Mounjaro, is a medicine used to treat type 2 diabetes and obesity. It is a combined agonist of the GLP-1 and GIP receptors. GLP-1 and GIP are hormones produced in the small intestine. They stimulate the release of insulin from the pancreas and help regulate appetite.

How does Tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide works by binding to the GLP-1 and GIP receptors in the small intestine. This leads to an increase in the release of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin helps to lower blood sugar. Tirzepatide also leads to a decrease in appetite.
