Zepatid Injection 7.5 mg/0.5 ml contains Tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist used for the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic weight management in adults. It is a once-weekly injectable therapy designed for patients who require further glycemic control and metabolic support after initial dose titration.

Tirzepatide improves blood glucose regulation while also reducing appetite and body weight when used alongside a healthy diet and regular physical activity.

Therapeutic Uses

Zepatid Injection 7.5 mg/0.5 ml is indicated for:

• Type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
• Improvement of glycemic control in adult patients
• Chronic weight management in overweight or obese individuals with associated comorbidities (as prescribed by physician)
• Reduction of metabolic risks linked with obesity and diabetes

It is not indicated for type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Mechanism of Action

Tirzepatide acts through a dual incretin mechanism:

• GIP receptor activation enhances insulin secretion and improves metabolic efficiency
• GLP-1 receptor activation increases glucose-dependent insulin release, reduces glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying
• Combined effects improve glycemic control and reduce appetite

This dual action provides enhanced blood sugar regulation and supports weight reduction in appropriate patients.
