Tirzepatide is a weekly injection that can be prescribed to help suppress your appetite and help you feel fuller longer. It can help you to eat less food and decrease unhealthy snacking by working on the centers in the brain that help to slow down how fast food leaves your stomach. Tirzepatide is part of a medication class called GLP-1 receptor agonists that targets two hunger hormones. Tirzepatide increases insulin secretion for treatment of type 2 diabetics (branded as Mounjaro) and acts on centers of the brain and suppresses appetite for weight loss (branded as Zepbound).
