Overview

Tirzepatide Injection is a once-weekly dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist indicated for the treatment of type 2 diabetes in adults and may support clinically meaningful weight loss when used alongside diet and exercise. It combines actions on both GIP and GLP-1 pathways to improve glycaemic control and reduce appetite.

Key Benefits

• Improves blood glucose control by enhancing insulin secretion and lowering glucagon.
• Supports weight reduction through reduced appetite and delayed gastric emptying.
• Convenient once-weekly dosing in a prefilled pen for accurate administration.

Composition

Each pen delivers: Tirzepatide (strength as labelled: 2.5 mg / 5 mg / 7.5 mg / 10 mg / 12.5 mg / 15 mg).

How It Works

Tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors, improving insulin sensitivity, reducing post-prandial and fasting glucose levels, and decreasing appetite.
