Tirzepatide combines the actions of GLP-1 with glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) to improve control over blood sugar and body weight. These medications work by mimicking hormones that target the brain’s appetite control centers, thereby reducing hunger and increasing fullness. They are injected under the skin and are particularly effective in treating excessive body weight and obesity.
