At a glance

What is it—and why does it matter?

Tirzepatide is described as an incretin-based agent that agonizes both GIP and GLP-1 receptors. As a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist, tirzepatide is stated to increase biphasic insulin secretion and decrease glucagon, with both actions described as glucose-dependent. The source states a comparative improvement in glycaemic control and body weight with tirzepatide versus dulaglutide 0.75 mg, semaglutide 1 mg, and insulin in inadequately controlled T2DM, with use either as monotherapy or combination therapy. The contraindications list includes a history of serious hypersensitivity to tirzepatide or excipients as a reason not to use MOUNJARO.

Primary explanation

Agonism at GIP and GLP-1 receptors increases glucose-dependent insulin secretion, reduces glucagon, slows gastric emptying, and reduces food intake. [1]Regulatory labelMounjaro prescribing informationCurrent DailyMed label for tirzepatide marketed as Mounjaro.
