About Tirzepatide in New Mexico

What is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is a first-in-class dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist developed by Eli Lilly. It uniquely targets both the GIP and GLP-1 receptors, producing greater weight loss and blood sugar control than GLP-1-only medications. Approved as Mounjaro for type 2 diabetes (2022) and Zepbound for weight management (2023), tirzepatide has shown weight loss of up to 22.5% in clinical trials — the highest of any GLP-1 class medication.
