Freezable? ❌ No (Fragile)

Tirzepatide is a novel “twincretin” peptide that acts on both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors. This dual mechanism appears to offer synergistic effects on weight loss and metabolic health.

Clinical Data

Studies have shown weight reduction of up to 20% or more in non-diabetic obese adults, surpassing Semaglutide in head-to-head trials (SURMOUNT-1).

Dosage and Administration

Typically administered once weekly via subcutaneous injection.

Key Benefits

  • Dual agonist (GLP-1 & GIP)
  • Superior weight loss efficacy
  • Improved insulin sensitivity

Potential Side Effects

  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea
  • Decreased appetite
  • Indigestion
