What Is Tirzepatide? A Science-Based Explanation of How It Works, What It Treats, and What the Research Shows
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injectable medication developed to improve metabolic health by targeting two key hormonal pathways involved in blood sugar regulation, appetite control, and energy balance. It represents a new class of drugs known as dual incretin receptor agonists, meaning it activates both glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) receptors and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors.
