Tirzepatide Sodium Overview

Tirzepatide sodium, a peptide for treating type 2 diabetes, functions by mimicking the effects of incretin hormones GLP-1 and GIP. These hormones stimulate insulin release, reduce glucagon secretion, and slow gastric emptying. Used for improving blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes, Tirzepatide also aids in weight loss. Administered via subcutaneous injection, it represents a significant advancement in type 2 diabetes management with its dual-action mechanism.
