Eli Lilly gained authorization to commercialize tirzepatide as an addition to a healthy diet and physical activity program for persons with type 2 diabetes as a consequence. The medicine will be offered in the United States in the coming weeks under the brand name Mounjaro.
Tirzepatide is a medicine that has to be injected into the thigh, shoulder, or belly, but one injection each week is enough for it to work. It works by activating metabolic hormone receptors, which reduce blood glucose levels.
Importantly, tirzepatide produced an extremely useful “extra” outcome. In the third phase of clinical trials, patients using the medication dropped 5-11 kg each course of therapy. This indicates tirzepatide has the potential to be used in innovative ways.
Eli Lilly might start working on clinical trials of tirzepatide as an obesity treatment as soon as feasible. If effective, the economic potential for such medicine is immense, as many people would choose to lose 10 kg with a few injections over more painful surgical treatments.
