Tirzepitide is a medication that mimics two key hormones involved in blood sugar regulation and appetite control: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). Originally approved for type 2 diabetes, it has gained attention for its powerful weight loss effects. Tirzepitide helps with weight loss by reducing appetite, slowing digestion, and improving how the body processes sugar and fat. Clinical trials have shown that it can lead to significant weight reduction, making it a promising option for people struggling with obesity or overweight-related health issues.
