✔️ How does Zepatid work?

Tirzepatide works through a unique dual mechanism of action. It acts as an agonist for both the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors. By activating these two incretin hormone receptors, Mounjaro facilitates the enhancement of insulin release from the pancreas in a glucose-dependent manner, reduces the amount of glucose produced by the liver, slows gastric emptying, and promotes feelings of fullness, all of which contribute to improved blood sugar control and can aid in weight management.

✔️ Interaction

Taking oral medications with a narrow therapeutic index, such as warfarin or digoxin, may be affected by tirzepatide, as it can alter their absorption.

Using medications that require a rapid onset of action might be problematic since tirzepatide may delay their effects.

Relying on oral contraceptives may be risky, as tirzepatide could reduce their effectiveness. It is advisable to consider switching to a non-oral contraceptive method or to use additional protection for four weeks after starting tirzepatide or increasing its dose.

Having obesity or being overweight while using oral contraceptives may be concerning since tirzepatide can influence their efficacy.

Frequent use of paracetamol may be impacted by tirzepatide, as it may delay its absorption; however, no dose adjustment is typically necessary.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation

Tirzepatide is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to unknown effects on an unborn or breastfed baby. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor about diabetes management options. Women of childbearing potential may need to use an additional barrier method of birth control (like condoms) or switch to non-oral contraceptives for a few weeks after starting Tirzepatide or after dose increases, as it can impact oral contraceptive effectiveness.

✔️ Safety Information:

Monitor for low blood sugar if you're taking other diabetes medications. Stay hydrated, particularly if you experience stomach upset. Avoid or limit alcohol, as it can increase the risk of low blood sugar or dehydration. Inform your doctor if you have a history of pancreatitis, kidney disease, or severe gastrointestinal issues. If you're undergoing surgery, notify your doctor that you are taking Tirzepatide, as it can slow stomach emptying and may need to be suspended beforehand. For women using oral birth control, discuss alternative or additional contraception with your doctor.

✔️ Storage:

Keep out of the reach and sight of children. Store in a refrigerator at 2°C to 8°C. Do not freeze and protect from light. Do not use if it has been frozen. To be taken and sold only on the prescription of a registered physician.
