Uses of Tirzee 5mg/0.5ml Injection

Tirzee 5mg/0.5ml Injection is an injection used to lower blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes, alongside diet and exercise. It is also used for weight management in adults living with obesity, or who are overweight and have weight-related health problems, as part of a reduced-calorie diet and increased physical activity. It does not replace insulin in people who need it.

How Tirzee 5mg/0.5ml Injection works

Tirzepatide mimics two natural gut hormones, GIP and GLP-1. It helps the pancreas release insulin when blood sugar is high, reduces the release of glucagon, slows the emptying of the stomach and acts on appetite centres in the brain, so you feel full sooner and eat less.

Possible side effects

Stomach-related side effects are common with Tirzee 5mg/0.5ml Injection, especially when starting treatment or after a dose increase. They include:

• Nausea
• Diarrhoea
• Vomiting
• Constipation
• Reduced appetite
• Indigestion or stomach discomfort

Get urgent medical help for severe, persistent stomach pain that may spread to the back, with or without vomiting, pain in the upper right abdomen or yellow skin, or swelling of the face or throat.

Precautions and warnings

• Tell your doctor if you have had pancreatitis, gallbladder problems, severe stomach or bowel disease, diabetic eye disease, or a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer.
• If you also take insulin or a sulfonylurea, your risk of low blood sugar is higher, so check your levels as advised.
• It may make oral contraceptive pills less reliable for a while after starting or a dose increase, so ask about extra contraception; it should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Drink enough fluids, particularly if you have vomiting or diarrhoea, to protect your kidneys.
• Store unused pens in a refrigerator, do not freeze them, and never share your pen with anyone.
