Description

Tirzepatide, the first approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, is a 39-amino acid peptide with an approximately 120-hour half-life supporting once-weekly dosing

In practice, clinicians compare the mechanisms of the common GLP-1 drugs and choose one that matches your medical history, preferences, and response over time

These studies have demonstrated that Tirzepatide's combination of GLP and GIP promotes insulin sensitivity, appetite suppression, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) metabolism significantly better than administering either single agent (GLP or GIP)
