Tirzepatide Lyophilized Powder (60 mg)
Tirzepatide (LY3298176) is the first dual-acting agonist that targets both GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) receptors. It received U.S. FDA approval in May 2022 for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) as an adjunct to diet and exercise.
This product is supplied as a 60mg lyophilized (freeze-dried) sterile powder in vials, which must be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water prior to administration. Compared with single GLP-1 receptor agonists such as semaglutide or dulaglutide, tirzepatide demonstrates superior efficacy in improving blood glucose regulation, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and supporting significant weight loss. These benefits are attributed to its dual-receptor synergistic mechanism of action.
