4 How Mounjaro works Mounjaro activates two hormone receptors instead of one: Like Rybelsus, it activates the GLP-1 receptor It also activates GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide), a second gut hormone involved in appetite regulation and blood sugar control This dual-action mechanism likely explains why tirzepatide produces greater weight loss and improvements in blood sugar in clinical trials than GLP-1-only medications
When these receptors activate, they signal your pancreas to release insulin more efficiently in response to meals, reducing the amount of insulin your body must produce to maintain stable blood sugar
