Approved in 2022, Tirzepatide (Mounjaro®) is a dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonist that brings a new dimension to Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) treatment. Unlike single-action GLP-1 therapies, it achieves dual benefits of glycemic control and weight loss. SURPASS-4 trial data showed it reduced mortality compared to insulin glargine, suggesting broader health impacts. Tirzepatide’s tolerability and minimal side effects make it a valuable option for managing T2D, while its combined metabolic effects may position it for future obesity studies and related conditions, marking a leap forward in diabetes care.
