The number of type-2 diabetes patients is increasing rapidly in the country and the world. To control diabetes, it is necessary to adopt a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. To control blood sugar, it is necessary to keep the body active and take medicines that control blood sugar. If diabetes is not controlled, the risk of many diseases increases. In view of the increasing cases of diabetes, the Drugs Standard Control Organization of India has approved the use of Eli Lilly's Tirzepatide drug to control type 2 diabetes. This drug will be available in India by 2025.
A subject expert committee under the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation recently gave the green signal to pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly's tirzepatide, the active ingredient in its blockbuster drugs Monjaro and Zepabound.

Tirazaptide is a drug manufactured by Eli Lilly and Company that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. This combination is sold under the brand names Monjaro for diabetes and Zapbound for weight loss. Tirazaptide will be imported to India for the treatment of diabetes, not for weight loss. Consumption of this drug keeps the blood sugar level normal.
This medicine will release hormones responsible for controlling blood sugar levels in the body. By consuming this medicine, appetite will be controlled and if the diabetic patient eats less, then the blood sugar level will also remain normal.
