Tirzepatide has been shown to help lose weight in overweight patients. Phase 3 clinical trials are currently underway for weight loss in adults who are overweight, obese, or have weight-related health issues. Tirzepatide has received FDA Fast Track designation to speed up its FDA application for treating adults with obesity, or who are overweight with weight-related health conditions.
In the SURMOUNT-1 clinical trial, the average weight loss with tirzepatide after 72 weeks was 15% for the 5mg dose, 19.5% for the 10mg dose, and 20.9% for the 15mg dose.
Tirzepatide is not FDA-approved as a weight loss medication; it is FDA-approved to help reduce blood sugar levels in patients with type 2 diabetes and should be used together with diet and exercise.
