Tirzepatide Weight Loss
Tirzepatide is a prescription medication that has been FDA-approved for weight loss since 2022. It is intended for individuals who are overweight or obese and need help losing weight. Tirzepatide is known for its ability to mimic hormones that regulate appetite and food intake, helping to reduce hunger and increase feelings of fullness. This makes it easier to follow a low-calorie diet. Brand names for tirzepatide include Mounjaro and Zepbound. Typical dosages are administered as a weekly injection, with doses gradually increased over time [17][18].
