Tirzepatide ℞
Tirzepatide is a medication that makes your body release more insulin when you need it. It also slows down how fast your stomach empties and can reduce your appetite. Together, these effects help manage type 2 diabetes and may help with weight loss.
Inject it just once a week, any time of day, on the same day each week. Give the injection under the skin of your stomach, thigh, or upper arm. Move the injection spot around to avoid irritation.
Some people may have:
- Nausea or vomiting
- Diarrhea or upset stomach
- Less desire to eat
- Redness or itching where you inject
These issues usually get better as you keep using Tirzepatide. If they don’t improve or get worse, talk to your doctor.
