Tirzepatide is a type of medication called a dual glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, used for the treatment of obesity and diabetes. In a pre-filled pen form, tirzepatide is provided as a ready-to-use injection that ensures precise dosing and ease of administration.

The compounded tirzepatide pre-filled pen you have been prescribed uses the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as brand-name tirzepatide.
