Tirzepatide is a newer GLP-1 and GIP receptor agonist. Like Semaglutide, it helps regulate blood sugar levels, but it also targets the glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) receptor, which works in combination with GLP-1 to help reduce blood sugar and improve insulin sensitivity.
Tirzepatide is also administered as a once-weekly injection, similar to Semaglutide. It can be injected into the abdomen, thigh, or upper arm.
