Canvasser In spring of 2022, there were some captions going around nearly every news outlet saying that the FDA had eventually approved a new weight loss medicine, one that would promised 10 to 25 weight loss with little further than just a daily injection. The medicine is called tirzepatide, or a brand name Mounjaro.
Now, it seems a little too good to be true. So, moment, we are going to be looking at what exactly is the medicine and what can it actually do for weight operation.
Canvasser So why do not we start there? What's tirzepatide and what does it do to the body?
I will start by just telling a short story. I was at an endocrine meeting two weeks ago when this medicine got approved by the FDA for the treatment of diabetes. And we were doing a lecture, and all of a unforeseen, everyone started clapping and blazoned that this medicine had been approved by the FDA for the treatment of the diabetes. So that is the kind of excitement we are getting with this medicine.
It's a new class of drug for the treatment... presently, it's only approved for the treatment of diabetes. still, we've seen really significant quantities of weight loss with the drug, and they're doing clinical trials at this point, and they've the results of the clinical trial for the treatment of rotundity with this medicine as well.

Tirzepatide is unique in the sense that's a binary incretin drug. It attaches to two different receptors. So we've a class of drug that has been in the request now for about 15 times called GLP- 1 receptor agonist. And some of the medicines I suppose are well known at this point, both for diabetes and for weight loss. All those medicines were originally developed for the treatment of diabetes, and also they set up that they led to significant quantities of weight loss.
So some of the medicines presently on the request that are GLP- 1 receptor agonists are Victoza, Ozempic, Trulicity, and those medicines really have revolutionized the treatment of diabetes in the sense that they bind to receptors in our body that stimulates our own pancreas to produce insulin. And at the same time, they cross the receptors in our brain and tell us that we are full.
thus, when you start eating, you feel fuller sooner. It leads to convinced malnutrition, so thus people eat lower, and it promotes the release of our own insulin so you have better glucose control, better sugar control for the treatment of diabetes. And we've this convinced malnutrition that leads to people eating less, feeling fuller, and thus losing significant quantities of weight.
Canvasser So tirzepatide has been approved by the FDA to help manage and treat types of diabetes. But there is a lot of substantiation in their, I guess, Phase 3 trials that are showing real eventuality to help with weight loss. What are they chancing ?
And what they set up is that they loftiest cure of the drug, which is 15 milligrams, can reduce body weight on average by28.4 pounds, which is nearly about 14 of the total body weight. So, for someone that weighs about 200 pounds, they will lose on normal of about 28 pounds on this drug, which is really, really significant.
Canvasser Wow. That sounds like a lot of weight loss for people without diabetes, but what does it do for people who do have type 2 diabetes? What kind of results have they been seeing with them?
it's really intriguing because the results for those with type 2 diabetes, on the loftiest cure, show that those actors lost nearly 21 of their total quantum of weight, which is really, really emotional. This is further than anything differently, any other drug we presently have in the request.
Canvasser So if I get this correct, there are other... I have seen other medicines out there that fill your stomach up, the Plenity or whatever it's called, or they claim to impact your metabolic system,etc., but this medicine actually impacts your pancreas in a way to help with glucose situations and help suppress hunger.
