How Tirzepatide Injection Works
Tirzepatide is the active ingredient in Zepbound; it is a drug used to treat obesity and prevent weight-related cardiovascular complications. It works by mimicking two hormones in the body (GLP-1 and GIP) that help regulate appetite and food intake. It slows stomach emptying and signals the brain to feel full sooner. Zepbound is prescribed to individuals with a high body mass index (BMI) or those who have weight-related health conditions. Tirzepatide has proven effective when combined with a healthy diet and exercise.
