Indications
Tirza Injection 7.5 mg is indicated for:
-
Type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adjunct to diet and exercise
-
Patients requiring additional glycemic control after lower-dose therapy
-
Support in weight management for overweight or obese individuals (as prescribed by a physician)
Mechanism of Action
Tirzepatide works by activating two incretin pathways:

Together, these actions provide enhanced blood sugar control and contribute to reduced appetite and weight loss.
