Tirzepatide Product Description
Product Name: Tirzepatide
Drug Class: Dual GIP and GLP-1 Receptor Agonist
Administration: Subcutaneous Injection (FDA-approved), Oral Formulations (Compounded, Not FDA-approved)

Description:
Tirzepatide is an innovative, once-weekly injectable medication designed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and weight management in adults. It is a dual incretin receptor agonist, targeting both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. This dual mechanism enhances glucose control, appetite suppression, and weight reduction more effectively than traditional GLP-1 agonists alone.
Mechanism of Action:
Tirzepatide works by:
✅ Stimulating insulin secretion in response to glucose levels
✅ Reducing glucagon production, lowering blood sugar levels
✅ Delaying gastric emptying, leading to reduced appetite and prolonged satiety
✅ Promoting weight loss through decreased food intake and increased energy expenditure
Indications:
✔ Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM): Improves blood sugar levels when combined with diet and exercise
✔ Chronic Weight Management: Approved for obesity or overweight individuals with weight-related conditions such as hypertension or dyslipidemia
Key Benefits:
✅ Superior Glycemic Control: Lowers A1C more effectively than traditional GLP-1 receptor agonists
✅ Significant Weight Loss: Clinical trials show average reductions of 15-25% body weight
✅ Cardiovascular Benefits: May reduce risks of heart-related complications in diabetic patients
✅ Convenient Weekly Injection: Long-acting formulation enhances compliance
Side Effects:
❗ Common: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, decreased appetite, constipation
❗ Serious (Rare): Pancreatitis, thyroid tumors, kidney issues, hypoglycemia (when combined with insulin)
Precautions & Contraindications:
❌ Not recommended for individuals with a history of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) or multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 (MEN 2)
❌ Use with caution in patients with severe gastrointestinal diseases
❌ Not suitable for individuals with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis
