Tirzepatide Safety and Considerations
Who is Eligible for Taking Tirzepatide
Tirzepatide is prescribed for adults with type 2 diabetes to manage blood sugar and for weight management in those with a BMI of 27 or higher and related conditions like high blood pressure. It may not be suitable for people with a history of pancreatitis or thyroid cancer. Consulting a healthcare provider is necessary to determine if it’s the right option.

How does Tirzepatide work?
Tirzepatide activates GLP-1 and GIP hormones to regulate blood sugar, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce appetite. It boosts insulin secretion, lowers glucose production, and curbs hunger by slowing stomach emptying. Administered as a weekly injection, it has shown significant improvements in blood sugar control and weight loss, making it a promising treatment for type 2 diabetes and weight management.
