<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
With the increase in popularity of weight management medications, a new name has taken over the Indian market recently. Yes, its Yurpeak!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yurpeak is an injection containing the drug Tirzepatide<\/a><\/strong>, mainly prescribed by doctors to manage blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. In addition, it is also known to support weight management, as it helps reduce appetite, slows down gastric emptying and improves insulin utilisation ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0 For a true result, Yurpeak should always be accompanied by a healthy lifestyle, balanced diet and exercise. While it is beneficial overall, patients may report some side effects related to its use.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
In this article, we will discuss all essential information you need to know about Yurpeak, such as how it works, its benefits, dosage and side effects.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/span>What Is Yurpeak?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYurpeak is an injection, which contains tirzepatide as its active ingredient, prescribed to manage blood sugar levels in individuals with type 2 diabetes. It is also used to support weight management in people with obesity (BMI \u2265 30) or overweight (BMI \u2265 27) with at least one weight-related health condition ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Tirzepatide is a dual receptor agonist that works by activating both glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptors, which are the gut hormone receptors playing a significant role in blood sugar management ^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
Yurpeak is recently launched in India and is available as a Kwick-pen device ^{3<\/sup><\/a>. Here are some details:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
\n
It comes as a pre-filled, multiple dose pen of varying strengths (2.5 mg, 5 mg, 7.5 mg, 10 mg, 12.5 mg, and 15 mg).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Each pen has with 4 doses of same strength that should be taken once a week, injected subcutaneously (under the skin \u2013 SQ)^{1<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{3<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
It can be injected in the abdomen, thighs or upper arm. To avoid irritation, a different injection is recommended to be used each time.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The injection can be given before or after food, at any time of the day.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
The medication usually starts with a low dosage, which will be gradually increased by your doctor ^{1<\/sup><\/a>^{.<\/sup>\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nBelow is the dosing format generally followed for this medicine:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}}
\n
Starting Dose:<\/strong> 2.5 mg subcutaneous (SQ) injection once weekly.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
After 4 weeks:<\/strong> The dose can be increased to 5 mg SQ once weekly.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Further Increases:<\/strong> If desired blood sugar control is not reached, the dose can be increased by 2.5 mg every 4+ weeks as tolerated.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Maximum Dose:<\/strong> 15 mg SQ once weekly^{5<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nNote:<\/strong> Do not change the dose unless recommended by your doctor. It might reduce the effect or even cause harm to your body.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}
<\/span>How Does Yurpeak Work in the Body?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nYurpeak, which is a tirzepatide, works by mimicking the natural hormones GIP and GLP-1, which regulate insulin, reduce appetite and improve metabolic health in people with type 2 diabetes and obesity ^{4<\/sup><\/a>.^{<\/sup>Following are its mechanism of action.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n}}
\n
Effect on Appetite: <\/strong>Tirzepatide slows down the action of nerves that regulate how fast the stomach empties and how the intestines move. This causes reduced gastric emptying, thereby keeping a feeling of fullness for a long period. It also acts on the brains centres which help reduce appetite and cravings, thereby supporting weight management^{4<\/sup><\/a>^.<\/sup>}^{6<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Effect on Metabolism: <\/strong>Tirzepatide helps improve the body\u2019s insulin sensitivity by managing blood glucose levels. It also helps reduce fat buildup by blocking fatty acid production in fat cells. This can help in weight management and improve overall metabolic health^{4<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n}
Effect on Blood Sugar Regulation: <\/strong>Tirzepatide stimulates insulin release from the pancreas. Insulin allows glucose to move from the bloodstream into body cells, where it can be used for energy. It also reduces the release of glucagon (hormone which increase blood glucose levels).This helps in managing the blood sugar levels^{5<\/sup><\/a>^,<\/sup>}^{6<\/sup><\/a>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>}
