What Is Tirzepatide/Glycine 17/5 mg/mL?

Tirzepatide/Glycine 17/5 mg/mL is a compounded injection containing tirzepatide, the same active ingredient found in the brand-name medication Mounjaro. Tirzepatide works by activating two hormone receptors — GIP and GLP-1 — that help regulate blood sugar, slow stomach emptying, and reduce appetite. It is used together with diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes, and tirzepatide is also FDA-approved under another brand name for chronic weight management. It is administered as a subcutaneous injection once weekly and requires a prescription from a licensed provider.
