Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is designed to help regulate blood sugar levels by stimulating insulin secretion, reducing glucagon secretion (which helps lower blood sugar), slowing down gastric emptying, and promoting satiety (a feeling of fullness), thereby aiding in weight management.

Clinical trials have shown promising results for tirzepatide in terms of both glycemic control and weight loss.
