Mounjaro (Tirzepatide) Injection for Type 2 Diabetes

Mounjaro (tirzepatide) is a once-weekly injectable medication used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes. It works by stimulating insulin release, lowering excess glucose production, and slowing digestion to help regulate appetite and support weight reduction.
