Core Tip Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a serious sleep disorder often caused by obesity. Standard treatments like continuous positive airway pressure can help, but many people struggle to use them long term. Tirzepatide, a new medication that targets both glucagon-like peptide-1 and gastric inhibitory polypeptide receptors, offers a different approach. By helping with significant weight loss and improving breathing during sleep, tirzepatide has shown strong results in the SURMOUNT-OSA trial, making it the first approved drug to directly treat obesity-related OSA.
