Tirzepatide functions by stimulating the release of insulin while decreasing the secretion of glucagon. These hormones play key roles in controlling blood glucose levels. Insulin lowers blood sugar by helping cells absorb glucose, while glucagon increases blood sugar by prompting the liver to release stored glucose. Mounjaro also slows gastric emptying, contributing to decreased blood sugar levels after meals.
Mounjaro, the brand name for tirzepatide, is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is designed to improve blood sugar control in adults. Tirzepatide is a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which enhances the body’s natural ability to regulate blood sugar levels.
