Indications

Tirza Injection 5 mg is indicated for:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
• Patients requiring improved glycemic control when oral therapies are insufficient

Mechanism of Action

Tirzepatide acts on two incretin receptors:

These combined effects result in better glycemic control and reduced appetite.
