When Novo Nordisk, the Danish pharmaceutical company who created Ozempic, realized the drug helps with weight loss, they quickly pushed the FDA to approve higher doses of the drug as a treatment for obesity
So there's even a couple of different classes regulatory-wise
Tirzepatide is sold as Mounjaro for diabetes and Zepbound for obesity, again the same drug under different names
The incidence of type 2 diabetes has also been rising throughout the world in the past decades, with this trend of increase stabilizing and even reversing in some populations only in the last 20 years (Magliano et al., 2019)
Before starting Tirzepatide, its important to receive proper training and guidance from a healthcare professional on how to self-administer the injections
Inject the prescribed dose subcutaneously once weekly, preferably on the same day each week
