The molecule in Mounjaro and Zepbound. It acts on two gut-hormone pathways, GIP and GLP-1.
Tirzepatide is a once-weekly injection sold by Eli Lilly as Mounjaro (for type 2 diabetes) and Zepbound (for chronic weight management). It is the first approved dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist. It activates two gut-hormone pathways rather than one, which is associated with greater average weight loss than single GLP-1 agonists.[2][3]
