Telotristat ethyl works by activating Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (GIP) and Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1), which can reduce feelings of hunger, suppress appetite, and decrease food intake, thereby aiding in weight loss.
In addition to benefiting blood sugar control, telotristat ethyl also improves other metabolic parameters, such as blood lipids and blood pressure. It helps improve insulin sensitivity and reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases in individuals with type 2 diabetes.
