Tirzepatide is a novel investigational medicine developed by Eli Lilly and Company for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. It belongs to a class of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists (glucagon-like peptide-1).
By stimulating both GLP-1 and GIP receptors, tirzepatide helps to lower blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin secretion and reducing glucagon secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Additionally, GLP-1 receptor agonists like tirzepatide have been shown to promote weight loss and may have beneficial effects on cardiovascular health.
