Tirzepatide is the new class of anti diabetic drug which was recently approved by US FDA.
It is the first drug which belongs to dual channel agonist. It is best medicine from compared to other diabetes drug

7. HOW DOES IT WORK
It is the first new drug in a new class( dual glucose dependent
insulinotropic polypeptide & glucagon like peptide 1 ) of diabetes
medication
When we eat incretins stimulates the secretion of insulin from the
pancreas of beta cell
GLP-1 increase the release of insulin from pancreas & it also reduce
level of glucagon ( glucagon- hormone that inc the blood sugar level)
Another role of GLP-1 is inc the number & volume of beta cell in the
pancrease . It also promotes a feeling of fullness by delaying stomach
emptying & controlling appetite in the brain
8. GIP inc insulin release . It also improves beta cell production & decrease beta
cell destruction
Additionally GIP reduces fat accumulation inc bone formation (osteoblast) &
reduce acid secreation in the stomach.
People with T-2 diabetes do not respond as strongly to incretin hormones
as other people . Tirzepatide addresses this deficit by activating the GLP-1 &
GIP receptor in the body.
They both have some what separate activities but they have greater activity
in combination causing insulin secreation improving glucose tolerence &
decreasing body weight
9. HOW EFFECTIVE IS IT
Participants who received trizepatide achieved better A1c (blood sugar test
normal range below 5.7%) reduction & weight loss than those who received
insulin glargine
Trizepatide is Significantly greater reduction A1c as compared to metformin +
SGLT2 inh (dapagliflozine , canagliflozin)
In a clinical trial researcher found tirzeptide to be effective in adults with diabetes
that is inadequatly controlled by diet & exercise intervention alone
Study showed that participant taking tirzepatide had significantly greater
reduction in A1c as measure of blood sugar than placebo (study- one of three
tirzepatide dosages 5mg, 10mg,15mg or a placebo inj under the skin once
weakly for 40 weak)
10. SIDE EFFECT
We know every drug having side effect & this drug also side effect but very less
POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECT
Difficulty in breathing , swelling of your face , sweating ,
confusion ,nervousness, fast heart rate
COMMON
Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation, indigetion , stomach
pain
