Tirzepatide Dual agonist : GLP-1 + GIP Central benchmark for dual incretin research Often discussed in relation to body-weight outcomes, glycaemic control and incretin signalling Single agonist : GLP-1 More selective and mechanistically narrower Common reference point for GLP-1 pathway research Triple agonist : GLP-1 + GIP + glucagon Broader receptor profile than Tirzepatide Often discussed in relation to weight loss, energy expenditure and next-generation multi-pathway metabolic modulation For researchers comparing incretin classes, Tirzepatide often functions as the middle reference point between single-pathway GLP-1 agonists and broader triple-agonist designs

When you take a GLP-1 receptor agonist, you are essentially giving your body a more powerful, longer-lasting version of this signal
At 0.25mg for 4 weeks then 0.5mg for 4 weeks, you use 3mg total from the 5mg vial
