Zepbound Tirzepatide Injection Prefilled Syringes 2.5 mg/0.5 mL Pen-Style (4-Pack) **Refrigeration Required** (RX)

Zepbound Tirzepatide is a medication used to treat type 2 diabetes. It is an injectable medicine that is a combination of two hormones: glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). These hormones work together to help lower blood sugar levels by increasing insulin production and slowing the release of glucose from the liver. Zepbound Tirzepatide is a brand name for tirzepatide marketed by the pharmaceutical company Sanofi. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2021 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

Zepbound Tirzepatide Injection Prefilled Syringes 2.5 mg/0.5 mL are a prescription medication used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. They contain the active ingredient tirzepatide, which is a newer type of medication known as a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist. These syringes are pre-filled with the medication and are injected subcutaneously (under the skin) once a week.
Tirzepatide works by stimulating the release of the hormones insulin and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), which help regulate blood sugar levels in the body. This can help improve glycemic control in people with type 2 diabetes.
