Description
Product Information
Fitaro 0.5mg Injection is a once-weekly injectable medication available in a convenient pre-filled pen. It is a semaglutide alternative containing 0.5mg of tirzepatide, a dual GIP and GLP-1 receptor agonist. Fitaro is used to improve blood sugar control in adults with type 2 diabetes and may also aid in weight loss for eligible individuals.
The medication works by mimicking natural hormones that regulate appetite, insulin secretion, and glucose levels. This helps reduce hunger, enhance insulin response, and support better glycemic control—making it effective for both diabetes management and weight-related health goals.
Fitaro 0.5mg for diabetes is typically prescribed when oral medications or lifestyle changes are not enough. It is also used in medically supervised weight management programs, especially in patients transitioning from the 0.25mg starter dose.
As a member of the GLP-1 receptor agonist class, Fitaro is often compared to treatments like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, offering similar benefits for long-term metabolic support.

How Fitaro 0.5mg Injection Works
Fitaro mimics the action of the GLP-1 hormone, which increases insulin release, decreases glucagon secretion, and slows gastric emptying. This helps improve glycemic control and can also contribute to weight loss by reducing appetite—just like other drugs similar to Ozempic.
