Education
What it is
Tirzepatide acts on two receptors at once: GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1. Tirzepatide is also the active ingredient in the brand-name medications Mounjaro and Zepbound; the compounded version is a separate product prepared by a state-licensed compounding pharmacy operating under Section 503A and is not FDA-approved.
How it works
Tirzepatide acts on both GIP and GLP-1 receptors — two gut-hormone pathways involved in appetite and metabolic regulation. Patients start at a low dose and titrate every 4 weeks based on tolerance and response.
Who it's for
Adults with significant weight to lose, or patients whose provider recommends a dual-receptor protocol after an individual clinical evaluation. Same screening criteria as semaglutide.
