Mounjaro®

Mounjaro, the first and only GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist approved for Type 2 diabetes. It is a single molecule that binds to glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).

Tirzepatide

Tirzepatide is a drug that has attracted a lot of interest since it effectively treats type 2 diabetes and aids in weight loss. Tirzepatide is an agonist of the glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP).

By targeting both receptors, tirzepatide can have a more dramatic effect on blood sugar control and weight reduction compared to GLP-1 receptor agonists alone.
