🔹 What is Tircepatide?
Tircepatide is a modern injectable medicine that acts as a dual agonist of the hormones GLP-1 and GIP – substances that are naturally released in the intestines after meals and help control blood sugar. Thanks to this combined action, Tircepatide not only supports the production of insulin when blood sugar is high, but also reduces appetite, delays gastric emptying and supports weight reduction. The medicine is usually available in the form of a pre-filled pen intended for subcutaneous injection once a week.
