What Is Tirzepatide?

Tirzepatide is an FDA-approved medication originally developed for type 2 diabetes, now shown to be highly effective for weight loss. It works by mimicking two hormones in the body—GLP-1 and GIP—that regulate appetite, slow digestion, and improve blood sugar control. This dual-action effect makes it one of the most powerful medical weight-loss options available today.
At Lite Medical, we offer tirzepatide as part of a comprehensive, physician-guided weight management program. Combined with nutrition and lifestyle support, tirzepatide helps patients achieve safe, sustainable results.

Steady, Sustainable Weight Loss

Clinical studies show patients can lose a substantial percentage of body weight when tirzepatide is paired with medical guidance and healthy habits.
