How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Zepbound). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Tirzepatide is a GIP receptor and GLP-1 receptor agonist.
It contains a C20 fatty diacid that enables albumin binding and prolongs the half-life.
Tirzepatide is metabolized by proteolytic cleavage of the peptide backbone, beta-oxidation of the C20 fatty diacid, and amide hydrolysis.
