What is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide is the generic name for the brand name medications Mounjaro and Zepbound. This medication is a groundbreaking medication that acts on GIP and GLP-1 receptors to decrease appetite, regulate glucose, and promote feelings of fullness after eating. Mounjaro received FDA clearance for Type 2 diabetes in 2022. Mounjaro is frequently used off-label for weight management owing to its powerful appetite-suppressing and digestive-slowing effects and has since been FDA-approved for overweight patients looking to slim down. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration has recently approved both Mounjaro and Zepbound as a treatment for obesity.
Mounjaro is a brand-name medication containing tirzepatide, originally approved by the FDA in 2022 for the management of type 2 diabetes. By acting on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, it offers dual benefits: regulating blood sugar levels and significantly curbing appetite. Due to its remarkable ability to promote weight loss by reducing hunger and slowing digestion, Mounjaro is now commonly prescribed for weight management, making it a transformative option for those seeking sustainable weight loss solutions.
Zepbound, another tirzepatide-based medication, has also gained FDA approval for treating obesity. Designed specifically for individuals who are overweight or obese, Zepbound works similarly to Mounjaro. This dual action not only supports weight loss but also helps improve metabolic health when used alongside lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise. With its focused application for weight management, Zepbound offers an additional tool for individuals looking to achieve their health and weight goals.
Anyone with Diabetic Retinopathy (a condition affecting the eyes).
