Tirezapatide is a once-weekly injection that doctors can prescribe to help with obesity, along with diet and exercise.
Tirzepatide belong to a family of drugs called GLP-1 receptor agonists. These medications work by slowing down digestion (delaying gastric emptying.)
When the stomach takes more time to digest food, this makes you feel fuller, longer. It can also lead to fewer cravings and feeling full after smaller meals.
