Key Information
  • Active Ingredient: Tirzepatide.
  • Mechanism: It is a “dual agonist” that mimics two natural gut hormones, GLP-1 and GIP. This helps to regulate blood sugar, suppress appetite, reduce cravings, and slow stomach emptying, leading to a calorie deficit and significant weight loss.
  • Administration: It is a self-administered subcutaneous injection (under the skin) in the stomach, thigh, or upper arm using a pre-filled “KwikPen”.
  • Dosage: Treatment starts with a 2.5 mg dose once a week for four weeks, gradually increasing in 4-week intervals to a maximum maintenance dose of 15 mg, as advised by a healthcare professional.
  • Effectiveness: Clinical trials (SURMOUNT) have shown that patients on the highest dose can lose an average of up to 22.5% of their starting body weight over 72 weeks when combined with lifestyle changes.
