Tirzepatide is a novel “twincretin” that functions as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide and GLP-1 RA. Tirzepatide was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the management of type 2 diabetes. Similar to previously approved GLP-1RAs, weight loss is a common side effect of Tirzepatide which prompted research focused on its use as a primary weight loss therapy. Although this drug has not yet been approved as an anti obesity medication, there are several phase 3 clinical trials that have demonstrated superior weight loss efficacy compared with previously approved medications. This review article will discuss the discovery and mechanism of Tirzepatide, as well as the completed and ongoing trials that may lead to its approval as an adjunctive pharmacotherapy for weight loss.

While no magic weight loss pill currently exists, available medications can help. But they should be used in combination with diet and exercise to get the most benefit and set you up for long-term results.

 

Keep in mind that these medications may not be covered by insurance, and some tend to be expensive. So if you are interested in a prescription to help you lose weight, you’ll want to talk to your provider to see which one would be the best fit for you.
