100% Online — No Office Visit Required
Tirzepatide is a dual GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist — the active ingredient in Mounjaro and Zepbound — that has demonstrated the highest average weight loss of any medication in clinical trials to date.
What Is Tirzepatide?
Tirzepatide activates both GLP-1 and GIP receptors — a dual mechanism that produces more pronounced effects on appetite, blood sugar, and weight than single GLP-1 agonists like semaglutide. It is the active ingredient in Mounjaro (T2D) and Zepbound (obesity).
What It May Help With
Tirzepatide is used for:
- Chronic obesity management
- Type 2 diabetes management
- Cardiovascular risk reduction in eligible patients
Who May Be a Candidate
Same eligibility criteria as other GLP-1 medications. Provider evaluation required.

Common Questions
Is tirzepatide better than semaglutide?
