Description
Tirzepatide is a prescription medication approved for chronic weight management in adults with obesity or those who are overweight with a related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes
. Marketed under the brand name Zepbound for weight loss, it has been shown to cause significant weight loss when used with a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity.
How tirzepatide works for weight loss
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptor agonist. It mimics two natural hormones released by the gut after eating, regulating your appetite and digestion.
Its mechanism leads to weight loss in the following ways:
Reduced appetite and cravings: By acting on receptors in the brain that regulate appetite, tirzepatide signals that you are full, which helps reduce cravings and the overall amount of food you eat.
Increased feeling of fullness: The medication slows the movement of food from the stomach, helping you feel and stay full for longer after eating.
Improved metabolic function: It regulates insulin and glucagon production to help control blood sugar levels and improve how your body uses energy.
Reported weight loss results
Clinical trials have demonstrated substantial weight loss results from tirzepatide.
In the SURMOUNT-1 trial, adults with obesity who took the highest dose (15 mg) lost an average of 21% of their body weight over 72 weeks, or about 52 pounds.
Other trial data showed an average weight loss of 15% to 21% of starting body weight after 72 weeks, depending on the dosage.
A head-to-head trial (SURMOUNT-5) showed that Zepbound led to significantly greater weight loss than Wegovy (semaglutide) over 72 weeks.
Dosage for weight loss
The typical dosage of tirzepatide for weight loss involves a gradual increase.
Initial Dose: 2.5 mg once a week for the first four weeks.
Titration: The dose is increased by 2.5 mg every four weeks until a maintenance dose is reached.
Maintenance Dose: The recommended doses are 5 mg, 10 mg, or 15 mg once a week. The best dose for you will balance effectiveness and side effects.
Maximum Dose: The maximum weekly dose is 15 mg.
