In the pipeline, retatrutide is a triple agonist that activates the GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors. So far, studies on these multi agonist drugs appear to
Gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are hormones involved in controlling blood sugar (glucose). Your doctor may prescribe a drug that helps mimic GIP and GLP-1. Drugs that mimic GLP-1 alone are called GLP-1 receptor agonists. Drugs that mimic both GLP-1 and GIP are called dual GIP-GLP1 receptor agonists.
Early research on GIP led to the theory of GIP-induced obesity, curbing interest in GIP receptor agonists in the treatment of type 2 diabetes.
Zepbound and Mounjaro are known as tirzepatide drugs. They are GLP-1/GIP receptor agonists, or dual-agonist drugs. Other GLP-1 drugs

What are GLP-1/GIP dual agonist drugs? GLP-1/GIP dual agonists combine GLP-1 and GIP into a single molecule. Dual agonists are thought to be
How GLP-1/GIP dual agonists work for weight loss. GLP-1/GIP dual agonists (or co-agonists) mimic the actions of two peptide hormones, GLP-1
Tirzepatide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist, too. But it also works in a second way, as what's known as a GIP receptor agonist. GIP, short for
