Tirzepatide, administered as a weekly subcutaneous injection, and additional dual GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists that could eventually be developed in the future seem to be a promising furthest advance for the management of several cardiometabolic settings
Multiply by a year before deciding if it is worth gambling on
Tirzepatide is a dual GIP and GLP-1 agonist that generally produces greater weight loss than semaglutide alone
In this guide, "stall" and "plateau" both refer to a period of 3 or more weeks where weight loss has stopped despite continued medication use and adherence to dietary protocols
Standard dosing is evidence-based, while microdosing, using lower-than-prescribed doses, has gained attention despite limited evidence, with potential benefits offset by concerns about reduced efficacy, safety risks, and lack of clinical validation
