Tirzep 2.5 Sterile Solution For Injection

✔️ Approved Uses of Tirzepatide

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: Used alongside diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults.

✔️ How Does Tirzepatide Work?

Tirzepatide activates two hormone receptors:

• GIP receptor: Enhances insulin response and sensitivity
• GLP-1 receptor: Slows digestion, reduces appetite, and lowers blood sugar levels

This dual action mimics natural hormonal responses and offers superior glucose regulation and weight reduction compared to traditional therapies.
