Tirzee™ (Tirzepatide)
Generic Name: Tirzepatide
What is it used for?
Tirzee™ (Tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable treatment used alongside a healthy diet and physical activity to:
- Help adults with Type 2 Diabetes improve blood sugar control.
- Support weight loss and long-term weight management in adults living with obesity or overweight with weight-related health conditions.
- Reduce the risk of certain cardiovascular (heart-related) events in eligible adults with Type 2 Diabetes.
- Help manage moderate to severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) in adults with obesity.
How it Works
Tirzee™ contains Tirzepatide, which works by activating two natural hormone pathways called GIP and GLP-1 receptors. These help:
- Improve insulin release when blood sugar levels are high.
- Reduce the amount of sugar produced by the body.
- Slow stomach emptying, helping you feel fuller for longer.
- Support appetite control, which can help reduce calorie intake and promote weight loss.
Dosage & Administration
- Tirzee is administered as a subcutaneous injection (under the skin) once weekly.
- The usual starting dose is 2.5 mg once weekly for the first 4 weeks.
- After 4 weeks, the dose is typically increased to 5 mg once weekly.
- If needed, your healthcare provider may gradually increase the dose based on your response and tolerance.
- The maximum recommended dose is 15 mg once weekly.
- It can be injected in the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
- Tirzee can be taken with or without meals.
- Rotate injection sites with each dose.
Drug Interactions
Before using Tirzee, inform your healthcare provider about all medicines you take.
Special attention is needed if you use:
- Insulin or sulfonylurea medicines, as the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) may increase.
- Oral medications, since Tirzee may slow stomach emptying and affect how some medicines are absorbed.
- Oral hormonal contraceptives (birth control pills). Additional or alternative contraceptive methods may be recommended for 4 weeks after starting treatment and after each dose increase.
