Q: How does Tirzepatide work?

Tirzepatide works by activating both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. This dual action enhances insulin secretion, reduces glucagon release, slows gastric emptying, and decreases appetite, leading to improved blood sugar control and weight loss.

Tirzepatide is administered via subcutaneous injection once weekly.
