Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication that mimics two naturally occurring hormones in the body: GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) and GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide). By activating both hormone pathways, tirzepatide helps regulate blood sugar, appetite, and body weight.
