Tirzepatide is a prescription injectable medication used for weight loss and type 2 diabetes management. It combines actions on two hormones—GLP-1 and GIP—to reduce appetite, slow stomach emptying, and improve blood sugar control. Taken once weekly, it typically leads to significant reductions in body weight when combined with diet and exercise. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting. It should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriate dosing.
